What is the Doula Expo by Mama Glow?
The one and only Doula Expo by Mama Glow is an annual culture-shifting festival that centers a vision for the future of birth work, curated by the global maternal health and education platform, Mama Glow. It caters to birth professionals and families, prioritizing education, connection, and community, serving as a space where brands and organizations in wellness, reproductive, and maternal health can interface with consumers, professionals, and community leaders. The interactive festival experience includes keynote conversations, expert panels, demos, and networking opportunities, open to all interested or involved in maternal and reproductive health, wellness, and beyond.
The Doula Expo offers birth professionals, including doulas and care providers, a valuable opportunity to connect with peers and industry leaders, fostering authentic relationships and community building. With inspiring content on stage and in lounges, the event promotes learning, reflection, and knowledge-sharing, designed to amplify participants' work, facilitate connections with organizations, and support business growth. If you're a doula, care provider, or any professional in the maternal health field, this gathering is essential for networking and professional development.
The Doula Expo welcomes expectants and families, providing access to curated resources, practitioner meetings, and products from maternal and infant health brands. With amenities like a parenting lounge and children's play area, attendees can prioritize self-care and privacy while engaging in activities tailored to their needs. Whether you're starting a family, expecting, or navigating parenthood, the event offers opportunities to learn from experts, make connections, and expand your support network.
