Save the Date for #HealthyTeen26
46th Annual National Conference
October 5-7, 2026 | San Diego, CA
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 San Diego at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Mission Bay.

the “must-attend” 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 45 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. They are 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 young people 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 young people they serve.
Sponsorship opportunities include Premier Sponsorships and Boost Your Brand Sponsorships.
