The gathering brings together culture-shapers, health experts, innovators and advocates to reimagine a new conversation about menopause, pleasure, longevity, identity and the possibilities of midlife.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Mama Glow, the global maternal health and education platform founded by Latham Thomas, announces the inaugural EMERGENCE Menopause Symposium, a new gathering exploring menopause, midlife health and wellness, sexuality, longevity, identity and the transformative possibilities of this next chapter.

Taking place October 29–30, 2026, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, EMERGENCE will bring together cultural tastemakers, health and wellness experts, entrepreneurs, advocates and innovators for conversation, connection, education and discovery.

Building on Mama Glow's work at the intersection of reproductive health, wellness, culture and community, EMERGENCE expands that mission into midlife, examining the physical, emotional, sexual, professional and cultural dimensions of menopause.

"Menopause is one of the most significant life transitions, and yet for far too long it has been shrouded in silence, stigma, a lack of meaningful resources and support," said Latham Thomas, Founder of Mama Glow. "EMERGENCE is about changing that narrative. We are bringing together an extraordinary community to create space for knowledge, connection, pleasure, possibility, and a new vision for what midlife can be."

The experience begins October 29 with a cocktail reception presented in partnership with Perelel, followed by "The Visionaries Dinner", presented in partnership with Medicine Mama, bringing together influential voices across health, beauty, wellness, media and culture.

On October 30, the EMERGENCE Menopause Symposium will take place at The Soft Space by Mama Glow, featuring programming spanning hormones and health, beauty, identity, entrepreneurship, intimacy, pleasure, longevity and the evolving cultural definition of thriving.

Lovehoney will present a Sexual Wellness in Midlife Panel focused on intimacy, desire, pleasure and sexual well-being through the menopause transition. Attendees can also explore the Menopulse / SheHerMe by Lovehoney Discovery Room, an immersive space for education and discovery.

Guests include: Stacy London, stylist, television personality, author and menopause advocate; Ricki Lake, actress, filmmaker and producer of The Business of Being Born; and Reshma Saujani, founder of Moms First.

EMERGENCE partners include: Perelel, Medicine Mama, Lovehoney, Maude, Dame, Momotaro Apotheca, Arrae, KEYS Soulcare, Oak Essentials, Little Words Project, Kate McLeod, Prima Co, Womaness, Reprise Health and Biologica.
