Same heart, new format

How the DC webinar works

In person, Families Out Loud is a two-day experience. For Washington, DC we’ve brought that whole arc online into one live day — here’s how it maps.

Our in-person format
Night One — The Cocktail Party
A relaxed evening of mingling across sponsors, current parents, intended parents, and allies.
Day Two — The Family Planning Expo
A full day of moderated panels, sponsor roundtables, and an open expo floor.
The DC webinar — one live day on Zoom
Four expert panels
The same panels as our in-person program, start to finish.
Live Q&A throughout
The Q&A box is open the entire session — bring your questions.
Doors open at 10:50 AM
Join early and settle in before the welcome.
Free, from anywhere
Registration is free and open to intended parents everywhere.

Your Zoom link is on your online event page and will be emailed to you before the event — no app account required.
