CSTE 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.

The 2019 conference was held in Raleigh, NC. The 2020 conference, which was canceled
due to the COVID-19 pandemic, would have been held in Seattle, WA.
