What is 2022 World Confluence Equity Access?

This is a scholarship intended to reduce part or all of the cost of attending the Spinning Babies® 2022 World Confluence on October 14-16, 2022. During your application you will choose a scholarship for either the Professional or Parent Conference.

What does the 2022 World Confluence Equity Access include?

Equity Access will provide recipients with the same experience and benefits of other attendees at the 2022 World Confluence Pre- and Main Conference presentations on October 14-16, 2022. It includes access to the conference virtual platform, opportunities to network with speakers and other participants, and a virtual swag bag with gifts and specials from our friends and sponsors.

*Continuing education credits are not guaranteed but are offered based on attendance and a score of 70% or higher on the post-test of eligible sessions. 

Who is Equity Access intended for?

This scholarship is intended for those who identify as Black or Indigenous birth workers, pregnancy-focused bodyworkers or childbirth educators who are actively working or teaching in the pregnancy and birth communities, or are enrolled in a birth-related education program. The scholarship for the Professional conference is not intended for retired birth workers or people who are not actively teaching or attending births. We are also accepting applications for those who identify as Black or Indigenous, who are not professionals, to attend the parent conference in 2022. 

If recipients of Equity Access scholarships are able to pay some of the conference fee, Spinning Babies® may be able to award more scholarships to more people. There will be a place to indicate your preference in the application. Applicants’ preference for a full or partial scholarship will not affect their eligibility for the scholarship.
