About this Event
#ARDoulaCon2026
Date & Time: October 3, 2026 at 9:00 AM (Central Time)
Join us at the ArtSpace in Pine Bluff at the Artx3 campus for the Doula Alliance of Arkansas 2026 Annual Conference! This in-person event is a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow doulas, community partners, and stakeholders across the state to build stronger bonds and work collaboratively.
We will focus on offering continued education for doulas transitioning into the Medicaid and insurance realm, empowering you with the knowledge and tools to expand your impact.
We will have live Q&A opportunities with representatives from ADH and DHS, featured projects that community-based doulas across the state have been working on, and breakout sessions with hands-on skills labs. Whether you are a long-time practicing doula with wisdom to share, a studious training doula, or someone who is curious about birth work, this event is for YOU!
