About This Show

AI-drafted summary

The Society of Family Planning Annual Meeting (#SFP2026) is the premier scientific gathering for the field of abortion and contraception in the United States. Positioned as "the source for science" on these topics, the meeting brings together the researchers, clinicians, scholars, and advocates who produce and apply the evidence that shapes family planning care.

Attendees come to share new research, consider emerging questions, strengthen their capacity to deliver evidence-informed and person-centered care, and connect with peers, mentors, and allies. The program blends plenary sessions, concurrent breakouts, scientific poster presentations, pre-conference workshops, Special Interest Group meetings, and awards, alongside an active Exhibit Hall where all networking meals and receptions are held.

The audience is multidisciplinary, spanning obstetrics and gynecology, family medicine, pediatrics/adolescent medicine, internal medicine, nursing, research, and law and policy. With more than 1,200 expected participants and 401 organizations represented, the meeting is an unmatched venue for anyone advancing the science and medicine of abortion and contraception. Note that #SFP2026 is an in-person-only event; there is no virtual attendance option.
