NACCHO Annual is the premier public health conference that offers an opportunity for local health department staff, partners, funders, and individuals invested in local public health to share the latest research, ideas, strategies and innovations.
For the first time ever, NACCHO presents NACCHO 360: Raising the Reach of Public Health (July 7-9, 2020; Denver, CO). This innovative convening aims to break down silos by connecting our traditional NACCHO Annual conference with PHIITS: Public Health Informatics, Information Technology, and Surveillance, a reimagined Public Health Informatics (PHI) Conference that goes beyond informatics to also explore local health department information technology infrastructure and public health surveillance.
Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of Public Health and our field’s diverse workforce ranging from clinicians and epidemiologists to health educators and policy analysts, public health professionals often find ourselves siloed. As a result, the struggle to meaningfully engage and collaborate, both within the field and beyond, remains. But in 2020, NACCHO is tackling this long-standing disconnect by changing how we unite our members and partners.
NACCHO 360 doesn’t aim to merge these two complex events; rather, undergirded by the key principles of Public Health 3.0 – strong leadership and workforce; strategic partnerships; flexible and sustainable funding; timely and locally relevant data, metrics, and analytics; and foundational infrastructure – NACCHO 360 will bridge NACCHO Annual and PHIITS to empower cross-pollination that moves the field forward.
COVID-19 Update: MAY 12, 2020
Due to the ongoing public health impacts of COVID-19 and after much consideration, NACCHO has decided to transition NACCHO 360 from an in-person meeting to a fully virtual experience. Despite this change in interaction, NACCHO 360 still aims to foster meaningful collaboration and create opportunities for engagement across public health disciplines. This change involves many moving parts, however, we are working diligently through the logistics to provide the best virtual experience possible.
Additional information regarding registration and logistics is forthcoming. We will continue to provide updates regarding NACCHO 360 and any changes to the meeting. Learn more about NACCHO’s response efforts around COVID-19.
