44th Annual National Conference

November 18-20, 2024 | Phoenix, AZ

For over forty years, Healthy Teen Network has brought together adolescent health professionals for our signature annual professional development event, our conference. Every year, our conference advances adolescent sexual and reproductive health. Teachers, educators, counselors, clinicians, and caring adults come to experience the magic of the Network, sharpen their skills, and meet fellow advocates for youth rights, education, and care.

Held in a different city every year, our conference attracts hundreds of professionals from across the United States. This “must-go” opportunity examines the current moment with thought leaders engaging with a timely topic. We feature thought-provoking keynote and plenary sessions, wide-ranging skill-building workshops and training institutes, enjoyable networking opportunities, informative exhibits, interactive installation experiences, and an awards ceremony that highlights excellence in adolescent sexual and reproductive health.

Save the date and join us in Phoenix, Arizona at the beautiful Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort.

Don't just take our word for it...here are what some of our attendees have said about our conference.

It's A "Must-GO" to Conference

We are the go-to network for connecting youth-supporting professionals with the opportunities, training, and tools they need to empower the next generation to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. Our vast membership network of more than 5,600 affiliates is made up of diverse adolescent sexual and reproductive health professionals. 

For over 40 years, our conference has been the only comprehensive annual national event to convene adolescent sexual and reproductive health professionals. Hundreds of conference attendees attend our apex capacity-building event each year. They come to strengthen their skills to provide the very best health care and education, as well as to network with national colleagues. 

Our attendees are youth-supporting professionals. They are teachers and educators, counselors and clinicians. The caring adults. And every day, they are working hard to provide honest, affirming care and education. They are in unique positions to recommend products and services to tens of thousands of youth across the country and to the agencies they represent.

At Healthy Teen Network, we know youth-supporting professionals do their best when they’re connected to great opportunities and resources—and with others working in sexual and reproductive health. And when they are well-supported, we see more positive outcomes for the youth they serve.

As a conference sponsor, you can join us in doing this important work. Sponsorship opportunities include Premier Sponsorships and Boost Your Brand Sponsorships.

Guiding Principles

All sponsors, including exhibitors and advertisers, at the Healthy Teen Network conference must be aligned with our Guiding Principles.

This means that all content (e.g., curricula, programs, activities, etc.) must be:

  • Youth-friendly;
  • Inclusive and affirming of all young people; and
  • Comprehensive, including when age-appropriate, information and/or services about sexual and reproductive health—including the full range of birth control methods and all pregnancy options (to be clear: abortion, adoption, and parenting).

For example, information/services promoting sexual risk avoidance education, abstinence-only-until-marriage programs, crisis pregnancy centers, or anti-abortion campaigns are not in alignment with our Guiding Principles and are not eligible to be promoted at the Healthy Teen Network conference.

We reserve the right to reject any sponsorship, at our discretion.
