Submit an abstract or work in progress
Conference attendees are also encouraged to submit an abstract detailing work on data modernization advancements at local levels for scheduled breakout sessions. Abstracts can be up to 250 words.
Local health departments attending the conference are also encouraged to submit “Works-In-Progress” of modernization efforts or data challenges, with the goal of generating conversation, sharing ideas and gaining feedback from others in public health. Presentations will be approximately 20 minutes with up to 25 minutes for discussion.
Other public health organizations are welcome to apply, but topics should emphasize applied public health challenges and solutions.
Due to last year’s conference having such a high demand for registration, a virtual option is also included in the registration process. This will allow national collaborators a similar route to share their work.
