Event Elements
Join us at Babies & Bumps St. Louis 2024! Our signature events feature a curated collection of local businesses, brands, and non-profits dedicated to serving new and soon-to-be parents. We offer info-packed, expert-led seminars and skill-building demonstrations to arm you with resources you never knew you needed. And we’re thrilled to be featuring special guest, Jamie Grayson, CPST at all of our events this year. Add perks like shopping, complimentary activities, and giveaways galore… and there’s nothing like Babies & Bumps!
Brands & Backyard Businesses
Exhibitors & Vendors
We curate our events to showcase organizations — from businesses and brands to healthcare providers and non-profits — that cater to new and soon-to-be parents (and have missions aligned with ours). On event day, guests can learn about local resources, connect with brands, shop, sign up for classes, enter giveaways, and more!
Educational Sessions
Seminars & Workshops
There’s a lot to learn! So, we partner with experts to provide classroom-style seminars and workshops on a wide range of topics related to pregnancy and parenting. Want real talk about writing a birth plan, the fourth trimester and postpartum recovery, and baby’s first foods? We’ve got you.
Educational Sessions
Skill-Building Demonstrations
Hands-on learning is where it’s at! These interactive sessions are designed to teach you valuable skills you can take home and put into practice, like baby wearing, picking the perfect breast pump, and car seat safety. These demos can help you build confidence to handle life with a baby from day one.
Gear & Safety Education
Jamie Grayson's Baby Registry Lab
Visit with baby gear expert and Child Passenger Safety Technician, Jamie Grayson on the exhibitor floor to ask questions and get hands-on demonstrations of a range of baby gear. Then, join Jamie for Baby Registry Lab – a 60-minute session where he’ll walk attendees through products and safety basics in top baby gear categories like car seats, strollers, carriers, and high chairs (and give away prizes!).
The Experience
Activities & Amenities
New and soon-to-be parents need some TLC to enjoy a busy event day. We get it! Our gorgeous venue is easy to access with free and plentiful surface parking and meal options on-site. We also offer a feeding lounge for peace, quiet, nursing, and pumping. Guests can also enjoy any number of activities! From babywearing test drives to baby & bump photos to car seat safety clinics, every event is designed to make your experience fun and memorable.
Icing on the Cake
Giveaways & Giving Back
Thanks to our incredible brand partners, our guests receive lavish gift bags and entry into grand prize drawings (giveaways vary by ticket type). It’s important to us to give back in meaningful ways, so attendees also have a chance to win dozens of prizes generously donated by our sponsors, local businesses, and brands in our charity raffle. This year, we’ll donate the proceeds from raffle ticket sales in St. Louis to The Milk Bank!
Seminars
Our expert-led seminars are classroom-style and 30 minutes long, with the exception of Jamie Grayson's Keynote, which is 60 minutes. Seating is first come, first served for all sessions!

You can absolutely bring your baby if they’re in your arms or a carrier – we see lots of babies at our events! Unfortunately, the venue can’t accommodate strollers, but of course, if you have a special circumstance, like a medical condition or if you’re pregnant and are also bringing a baby, just let us know when you check in. A changing table is also available, and there’s a private room for nursing, pumping, feeding, or just taking a breather if you and your baby need one! While the lounge provides a comfy place for parents and babies, please note that our entire venue is breastfeeding-friendly! This event is meant for adults and babies only, so please plan to leave older children with a caregiver, if possible. We won’t turn you away, of course! But we want to make sure you can get as much out of the event as possible, and the educational format can be difficult for young children.
-
We carefully select venues that accommodate wheelchairs and other assistive devices, so all are welcome and comfortable. If you have additional questions or need assistance, please reach out to us at hello@babies-and-bumps.com so we can offer more information or support.
