Joint American Homeopathic Conference

Each spring, the National Center for Homeopathy organizes the Annual Joint American Homeopathic conference - open to both practitioners and the public.

The conference brings together the entire homeopathic community: practitioners from all of the professional organizations, including NASH, AIH, HANP, and HNA; students; and interested members of the public. Advanced workshops are offered as well as introductory talks. A vendor exhibit area, Saturday night social event, poster session, and a roundtable luncheon round out an exciting weekend!

To get a feeling for this yearly event, check out this animated slide show of the 2009 conference.

Here are details for the 2010 conference... stay tuned to this site for more as the 2011 conference approaches -- to be held APRIL 8-10, 2011 in ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA at the same venue as the 2010 conference.
