2024 conference final logo

Registration is now open!

Join Maine Public Health Association for our 2024 annual conference, "Innovations in Public Health." This year's conference is hosted in collaboration with the UMaine-Institute of Medicine and will take place on Wednesday, October 2nd, at the Holiday Inn by the Bay in Portland.

The conference will showcase a broad array of programs, projects, and initiatives – formal and informal – that aim to improve individual and community health and demonstrate strategy, innovation, and creativity in addressing complex public health challenges.

We'll hear from speakers throughout Maine and nationally, develop skills and expand our knowledge through oral sessions, poster presentations, and networking opportunities.

We hope you'll join us, and please check back for updates!

Please reach out to MPHA staff with any questions (info@mainepublichealth.org).
