The Society of Family Planning is THE source for science about abortion and contraception.
Our Annual Meeting is where those who produce and inform that science come together to share new research; consider new questions; learn from one another; improve their capacity to provide evidence-informed and person-centered care; get inspired; and receive the support they need from peers, mentors, and allies to return to their communities and institutions prepared to advocate for evidence-informed and person-centered abortion and contraception care.
Registration for #SFP2024 will open in late June.
