Update on 2020 Annual Conference and COVID-19

The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) is carefully monitoring developments related to COVID-19, including our own emergency preparedness and response ICS, and how this may impact travel to spring meetings and the 2020 CSTE Annual Conference. At this time, there are no plans to cancel the CSTE Annual Conference in Seattle, Washington June 28-July 2. We continue to plan and prepare for a successful conference, including speaker invitations that will be sent this month. In addition to the annual conference, CSTE has several smaller meetings planned from March-May 2020. We are evaluating each of these meetings on an ongoing basis and will determine plans for these events in a timely manner.

CSTE will provide updates on meetings and the annual conference as the situation warrants. If you have any questions regarding an upcoming meeting or the 2020 Annual Conference, please visit www.csteconference.org or contact the CSTE National Office at (770) 458-3811.

NEW! CSTE Emergency Preparedness & Response website
As CSTE continues to respond to the international outbreak of COVID-19, the National Office has created a new Emergency Preparedness & Response website to provide our members and public health professionals with useful information on CSTE’s current and past response activities. The new site includes helpful resources, such as After Hours/Epi-On-Call contacts, and other important information. To learn more, visit preparedness.cste.org.
