Modern
Motherhood.
For the first time, there's an international summit created specifically for solo mothers by choice.
A place where world-leading researchers who have spent decades studying solo-mother families meet clinicians who understand fertility, pregnancy and parenting outside the traditional two-parent model.
Where science, advocacy and lived experience come together.
This is the SMBC Summit 2026.
Four days + VIP Day.
Online. On demand.
Join from wherever you are, whenever it works for you.
Hear from experts on parenting, self-advocacy, women's health, fertility, family diversity and the research shaping our understanding of solo-mother families.
Modern motherhood deserves modern research, modern support and a community that gets it.
The SMBC Summit 2026.
For the women building families differently — and intentionally.
International Solo Mothers By Choice Day, celebrating this global community.
"Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day I can hear her breathing."
— Arundhati Roy
