Since January 2018, P-POD Conferences have always automatically been approved as applying to the "Event CME" prerequisite for ABLM/ACLM Lifestyle Medicine certification exam-takers, after P-POD completes its regular annual CME re-accreditation early on.  They always count toward maintenance requirements as well, and Physician or Professional registrants who are Diplomates receive a 10% P-POD discount.

Only LIMITED information is yet available about 2026-year specifics, but you can either:

FIRST, ABOVE, plan to join us Saturday-Sunday June 6–7 in Atlanta, Georgia (or via our virtual option), for our next conference days, in collaboration with Emory Winship Cancer Institute, and in partnership with Emory Office of Well-Being (EmWELL) and Healthy Emory.  We are proud to recognize June as National Cancer Survivor Month and June 7th as National Cancer Survivor Day.  This is a P-POD Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine Core-Topic-focused two-day conference combined with a cancer survivorship summit.

SECOND, JUST BELOW,  check out our unique Grand Finale for 2026, the all-virtual Sunday October 18 conference day.  This is World Menopause Day, with featured presentations and panels by five distinguished speakers regarding women's health and health empowerment.  And, while covering a number of our Core Topics, this 7th of our 7 days also offers the last in our series of high-level evidence-based discussions about how society's Dietary Guidelines should be crafted to reduce chronic disease incidence and support broad-based population health.  There is a possibility that this day may later be converted to northeast U.S. in-person with a virtual option.
