(26ACNM-ANNUAL) 2026 ACNM 71st Annual Meeting & Exhibition

1. Access CE surveys using QR codes presented at the end of each session or through ACNM’s Learning Management System (LMS) in the 71st Annual Meeting & Exhibition course.
   
   - You must be logged in to the LMS to access conference surveys, or it may redirect you to the homepage.
   - The LMS login is separate from your membership portal, but it may use the same login information based on how you signed up.
   - If you’ve never logged in to the LMS before, you should receive an email with instructions to set your password before the conference starts. If you don’t receive this email, you can choose the ‘forgot password’ option to set your password when first logging in. 

    

2. Conference sessions are organized by date, but you can also use the search function to find a specific session.
    

3. You will receive a certificate for each session survey you complete. Once you complete the survey, you will receive an email notification that your certificate is available to view in your profile on the LMS.

   
   If you have any questions or issues accessing the surveys, please email ce@acnm.org

Accompanying children 17 years of age or younger may access the exhibit hall and social events free of charge, not including food and beverage. Children are not required to pay the guest registration fee and are not permitted in educational sessions. A registered adult must always accompany children. Strollers are not permitted in the exhibit hall. You may arrange childcare service through your hotel’s guest services department.

For admittance to the exhibit hall and social events, individuals 18 years of age and over are required to pay the guest registration fee. 

Badges are issued based upon the information included on the registration form. Indicate your name as you would like it to appear on your badge. Include CNM, CM, SNM, or other certifications as appropriate. Non-midwives should indicate highest degree or title. Designate the school, hospital, service, organization, or other place of employment as you want it to appear on your badge. If professional title and/or organization are left blank, no designations will appear. Under no circumstance is an attendee with a name badge permitted to give the badge to another individual who is or is not a paid attendee at the meeting. Fraudulently allowing an individual to gain access to events and/or exhibits by using another’s credentials is grounds for immediate removal of all parties from the meeting. Correspondence will be sent to the e-mail address you provide on the registration form. Attendees are always required to show their badge if requested to do so.

*Registrants and guests must wear badges to attend all sessions and functions.
 

All student attendees must present valid proof of enrollment or an active student ID at on-site check-in.

Please come prepared—failure to provide valid student documentation will result in an additional fee to receive your badge.

Guest Pass registrations are available for purchase by personal guests of attendees who are not aligned with the midwifery profession. All guests must be registered to attend.

Guests may purchase à la carte access to the exhibit hall & midwifery market, as well as ticketed social functions (additional fees apply). Guest Passes are not permitted into education sessions and/or workshops, except for the Awards & Fellows Induction Ceremony.

Attendees may register their guest(s) on the last page of the registration form.

Exhibit Hall & Midwifery Market Access: $200.00
Midwives after Dark: A KC Block Party: $100.00

Full Access registrations include the option to add workshops. Do not register as Workshop Only if you have already registered as a Full Access attendee.

• Half-Day Workshops: 8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. / 1:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m.

For CS:

Full Access Attendee

No cancellation fee would be applied for an activity cancellation request. However, if the full-access attendee requests a full cancellation and refund (no longer attending), we would charge a $100 cancellation fee from their total payment, regardless of whether they attended any activities.

Workshop-Only Attendee

The cost of the workshop activity is technically the registration fee of a workshop-only attendee. We would apply the $100 cancellation fee to their total payment, even though the revenue is from an activity.
