About our Conference
Each spring, the Global Public Health Association @ RIT hosts the Innovations in Global Public Health Conference, where we bring in speakers from across the United States to speak on the topic of the year. The conference will be attended by students, faculty, and staff of RIT and surrounding universities, as well as professionals from the Greater Rochester area.
On April 20th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. we will be hosting our 6th annual conference on the campus of Rochester Institute of Technology.
The 6th Annual Innovations in Global Public Health Conference is set to make a significant impact as we center our discussions on the pressing issue of mental health. Against the backdrop of ongoing global challenges, from the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to the toll of conflicts, natural disasters, and societal upheavals, the importance of prioritizing mental well-being has never been clearer. This year, our theme shines a spotlight on mental health, acknowledging its pivotal role in achieving holistic public health outcomes.
As we convene for this milestone event, we invite attendees to join us in exploring innovative strategies, sharing insights, and fostering collaboration to address the multifaceted dimensions of mental health. Through engaging keynote speeches, poster presentations and interactive networking sessions, we aim to catalyze action and drive positive change in mental health advocacy and support systems worldwide. From groundbreaking research to grassroots initiatives, our conference serves as a catalyst for transformative dialogue and collective action in the field of global public health.
Join us at the 6th Annual Innovations in Global Public Health Conference as we come together to advance the conversation on mental health, empower communities, and chart a path towards a healthier, more resilient future for all.
