Abstract Deadline Extended

The abstract submission period for the 2025 Preparedness Summit, Pathways to Recovery in the Aftermath of Disasters, is OPEN. This year’s Summit Planning Committee invites public health, health care, disaster relief, emergency management, and other professionals nationwide to showcase and share their research findings, best practice training models, tools, or other resources that advance the field of public health and healthcare preparedness and response. Summit Planning Committee members will review all abstracts and final selections will be made by the Summit Chair.

The abstract submission period is extended through September 22, 2024 (11:59 PM PT).
