Notice
Summary
The HHS Office on Women's Health is hosting its first-ever National Conference on Women's Health in Washington, DC, from March 11-13, 2026. Non-federal groups can co-sponsor events but must cover their own costs—no federal money or registration fees involved. This is a great chance for organizations to help shape the future of women’s health by sharing ideas and innovations.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
Co-sponsors Must Self-Fund
Non-Federal and private organizations that co-sponsor the conference must pay their own costs and cannot receive federal money. The notice explicitly says no federal funds will be provided to co-sponsors and that each entity is responsible for financially supporting its own activities.
HHS Covers Main Conference Logistics
HHS will arrange and pay for the conference's facilities, logistics, and advertising for the overall event. Co-sponsors must still develop and manage programming for their own co-sponsored meetings and pay expenses related to those specific activities.
No Registration Fees for Attendees
Registration fees will not be collected for the conference or any co-sponsored activities, so attendees will not pay to register. The notice states explicitly that registration fees will not be collected for the conference or co-sponsored activities.
