APHA Annual Meeting 2019

Event Website

Date

November 02, 2019 - November 06, 2019 US/Eastern

APHA’s Annual Meeting and Expo – the largest and most influential annual gathering of public health professionals – is being held November 2–6 in Philadelphia, PA. APHA identifies and shares innovative strategies to demonstrate how cooperation between organizations, governments, communities, public health disciplines and the public can improve health outcomes.

This year’s theme is “Creating the Healthiest Nation: For science. For action. For health.” and will address these three core principles that guide our work as public health professionals. Join us to explore how science, action and health can help us create the healthiest nation and see what RTI’s experts are doing to address these areas.

Stop by Booth #801 to play our trivia game and test your knowledge of today's largest public health challenges.

RTI's research experts will be presenting throughout the conference during the poster sessions, roundtables, film festival and more. Check out the list of RTI presentations below and visit the APHA website to learn more about the work our experts will be presenting.
