Save the date! The AAP Advocacy Conference will take place March 20 – 22, 2022. The conference format is currently unknown, but we are hopeful to be in person. We will continue to monitor local restrictions and guidance. During the conference, pediatricians and pediatric trainees will attend advocacy skills-building workshops, hear from distinguished guest speakers and learn about policy priorities impacting children. On the final day of the conference, participants join other attendees for meetings with their congressional offices on a key child health issue.
