Learning brings us together (and fits with the 2021 meeting theme "Creating the Healthiest Nation: Strengthening Social Connectedness."). There are so many things to do at APHA's Annual Meeting and Expo, but the educational content truly sets our meeting apart. Thousands of public health professionals share their research, programmatic work and other experiences. Whether in Denver or online, APHA 2021 attendees will have access to high-quality scientific sessions, inspiring presentations, and many opportunities to connect with peers.
