Registration: Opening Spring 2024
13th National Conference
The 13th national conference will be held on October 23 – 25, 2024 in Chicago, IL and virtual.
The focus on poverty and basic needs offers the opportunity for leaders of diaper banks and period supply programs to meet together and share academic research, participate in educational workshops, and gain inspiration from nationally recognized keynote speakers in a format applicable to both nonprofit models. The format builds upon professionalism and offers the benefits that attendees have come to expect from the Alliance for Period Supplies and the National Diaper Bank Network-led programs.

The conference will have a distinct, yet complementary, focus each day:
- Day 1 – Wednesday, October 23, 2024
- Issues related to ending period poverty in the U.S., including new research, policy and advocacy efforts, and program development for new and ongoing period distribution programs.
- Day 2 – Thursday, October 24, 2024
- Anti-poverty work and the role that basic needs banks play in ensuring that individuals, children, and families have access to the basic necessities they require to thrive and reach their full potential.

- Day 3 – Friday, October 25, 2024
- Issues related to ending diaper need, with discussions ranging from diaper need assessment and establishing a new program, to measuring the impact of diaper banks on the communities they serve and how to leverage greater support for addressing unmet diaper need.
