Annual Conference

The CSTE Annual Conference connects public health epidemiologists from across the country and includes workshops, plenary sessions with leaders in
the field of public health, oral breakout sessions, roundtable discussions, poster presentations and networking opportunities. Conference attendees
meet to share their expertise in surveillance and epidemiology, as well as best practices in a broad range of areas including informatics, infectious
diseases, immunizations, environmental health, occupational health, chronic disease, injury control, and maternal and child health. During the
conference, CSTE members also vote on position statements, which instigate nationwide policy change and create new initiatives.
