Abstract Information

The abstract submission period for the 2024 Preparedness Summit, Public Health, Healthcare, and Emergency Management: Aligning to Address Cascading Challenges, is CLOSED. 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.

Information about abstract submissions will be distributed to the session contact, including additional directions about next steps for presenters, on Monday, November 20. Please check your inbox - including your SPAM folder - and follow the steps provided ASAP.
