Who should attend a Heartbeat Conference?

Heartbeat’s Annual Conference is designed for ministry leaders, staff, board members, and volunteers of life-affirming pregnancy resource centers, medical clinics, maternity homes, and non-profit adoption agencies, as well as professionals in the areas of medicine, counseling, social work, and education.

  • Executive Directors - Leadership is best when equipped, encouraged, and engaged. This conference includes tactical techniques, spiritual support, and everything in between.
  • Key Staff/Volunteers - Deepen your understanding by accessing the Track or Workshops of your area of ministry work - or broaden your information and inspiration by learning about related matters.
  • Medical Personnel - While our Medical Track features professionals who can speak the medical language and your passion for life, other topics may be of interest to enhance you and your ministry.
  • Board Members - Governance is a high calling and one that is informed by experience and understanding. Strategic Leadership topics will strengthen your knowledge and wisdom.
  • Internationals - Pregnancy help ministries exist all over the world and they encounter the same concerns U.S. centers have every day. This conference is proud to include international guests from six continents.
