CDC’s Place & Health Conference

Deadline extended to submit an abstract for the 2019 Place & Health Conference!

Are you interested in sharing your geospatial work, research, and accomplishments with your public health colleagues?  GeoSWG has extended the deadline to submit an abstract for the 2019 Place & Health Conference. The extended abstract submissions deadlines are:

  • Lightning Talks, Presentations, or Panels: Friday, October 11, 2019
  • Map Gallery: Friday, October 18, 2019

To submit an abstract, visit https://placeandhealthconference.com/call-for-abstracts/.

The 2019 Place & Health Conference will take place on November 14-15, 2019 at the CDC Global Communications Center, Roybal Campus. The 2019 Place & Health Conference is a free event and is open to CDC/ATSDR employees and contractors, academic and government partners, public health and GIS professionals, and students.

This year’s theme is Vulnerable Populations, although we are accepting abstracts on other GIS topics of interest. Through the application of geospatial technology and methods we can increase our understanding of the locations where disasters or disease occurrence may have a disproportionate effect on the health of the population. This knowledge can be used to enhance health promotion, disease prevention, and emergency preparedness activities which are the essence of public health.

Visit https://placeandhealthconference.com for more information. Please reach out to GeoSWG [at] cdc [dot] gov with questions. Thank you!
