APHA 2020 — Creating the Healthiest Nation: Preventing Violence

APHA's Annual Meeting and Expo is the largest and most influential annual gathering of public health professionals, bringing nearly 13,000 people together to experience robust scientific programming, networking, social events and more.

COVID-19 and the Annual Meeting

As the COVID-19 pandemic changes how we connect, live and learn, we continue to plan for a streamlined in-person meeting Oct. 24 - 28 in San Francisco, with a virtual component to enable our attendees, presenters and exhibitors to participate and connect with the largest audience possible. This hybrid meeting will feature the scientific sessions, presentations and networking so essential to the public health workforce. Safety is our key concern, and planning decisions are being guided by science-based recommendations from health officials.

Registration and housing will open on July 1.  

Our Expo is 64% sold out, and we continue to welcome new exhibitors and sponsors. In the coming weeks, stay safe, stay healthy and check back here for updates regarding APHA 2020. Visit APHA’s COVID-19 page for resources and helpful links.
