APHA 2025 Annual Meeting & Expo, Washington, D.C., Nov. 2-5, Making the Public's Health a National Priority

Making the Public's Health a National Priority

Washington, D.C. | November 2-5, 2025

Research has shown that public health efforts to prevent disease are more cost effective - and humane - than treating chronic health conditions, so now is the time to invest in our nation’s health. Health is a human right; let’s make it a national priority. 

The 2025 Annual Meeting and Expo will be held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, 801 Allen Y. Lew Place NW, Washington, DC 20001. APHA is utilizing the whole convention center. For those arriving by APHA’s shuttle service you will be dropped off the L Street Entrance between the two buildings.  

Airport Information: DC is served by three major airports; Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI). APHA suggests exploring more about the airports to determine which might be the best fit for you.  

Parking at the MCC: There are multiple parking garages located around the Convention Center with hourly and daily rates. The Convention Center does not have it’s own parking garage. 

By Metro:  The Convention Center sits atop the Mt. Vernon Square/7th Street-Convention Center station served by Metro's Green and Yellow lines. Alternatively, take the Red Line to the Gallery Place-Chinatown Metro station which is a 5 minute walk from the Convention Center.    

By Foot: You’ll quickly find that DC is one of the most walkable and bikeable cities in the nation.
