About GOLD Lactation

Welcome to the GOLD Lactation Online Conference! We are the largest annual breastfeeding conference in the world, serving over 4,500 healthcare professionals from 90+ different countries every year.

GOLD Lactation is hosted by GOLD Learning Online Education and has been bringing quality continuing education to lactation professionals, peer supporters and students since 2007. Our online format allows access to the knowledge and experience of industry leaders, all from the comfort of your own home or workplace. The knowledge within the field of study of human lactation is growing and changing at an incredible rate. Our goal with GOLD Lactation is to help bridge the gap between established protocols and practices and the rapid growth of new research. Join us during the live days of the conference to interact in real time with the speakers and your fellow delegates and watch the recordings as many times as you want! With the recordings you can pause, rewind or fast forward to allow you to make notes or re-watch certain sections of a presentation, allowing you to learn at your own pace.

All of our conference sessions are accredited, and participants are able to collect educational hours and download one or more of the following certificates: Nurse Contact Hours, CERPs, CMEs, Midwifery CEUs and Dietetic CPEUs. With our large selection of international speakers, our add-on packages that provide focused education on a particular topic and our associated special events on GOLD Learning such as our lactation ethics package, tongue-tie symposium, and GOLD Learning Day events, GOLD Lactation has something for everyone and is always growing. We look forward to having you as part of our vibrant GOLD community!

GOLD Learning is strongly committed to leading the global standard in evidenced-based online healthcare education for professionals working from preconception to early childhood. It is our firm understanding the work of diversity, equity and inclusion is as unique as one individual to another and much so to each community in which GOLD Learning strives to serve. We value the visible and invisible attributes that make each of us unique, ever-evolving humans. As such, we recognize each individual and organization is on their unique journey to reduce implicit and explicit bias contributing to the perpetuation of racism, bigotry and intolerance. We, at GOLD Learning, are on our journey striving to build core values of diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as model those values through our mission and internal and external values. Part of GOLD Learning's commitment entails creating a sustainable, resilient environment and space which is diverse, inclusive, and equitable for learners, presenters, volunteers, and staff- no matter their age, class, disability, education, ethnicity, gender identity, national origin, race, or sexual orientation. We stand true to respecting and valuing diverse life experiences and heritages to ensure all voices are valued and heard.
