North American Forum on Family Planning. With nearly 470 attendees, excellent content, and a strong scientific program, the first North American Forum on Family Planning — cosponsored by SFP and Planned Parenthood Federation of America and held October 22-24 in Washington, DC — was a resounding success. And it’s not too soon to begin planning for the next one! Mark your calendars: The 2012 North American Forum on Family Planning will be held October 27-29 in Denver, Colorado.

Online abstract submission for the 2012 Forum is now open, as is online submission of conference session proposals. Both will run through March 16, 2012. Learn more...
