A menopause-focused, retreat-style conference
After an immensely popular first-ever CWIM Menopause retreat-style conference last fall, we're doing it again! We’ve created an all-new comprehensive program that addresses perimenopause and menopause, equipping you with the knowledge to better support your patients as well as better understand and manage your own health confidently - regardless of where you are in the journey.
This retreat-style conference offers a more intimate setting compared to our large annual gatherings, featuring dedicated time for connecting with colleagues, self-care, and recharging. The interactive workshop format allows us to explore topics in greater depth and provides ample opportunity to engage with our expert speakers, whether joining us virtually or in-person.
CWIM Menopause 2026 covers all things menopause, including perimenopause, medical treatment of menopause, and management of changes in weight and cognition. We’ll also delve into important areas such as racial and cultural differences in menopause and menopause medical misinformation. To round out the weekend, there will be a rapid fire cases session and an 'Ask the Expert' panel featuring several of our speakers to make sure you leave with all your questions answered!
