The 2025 Public Health Conference will be the first time the gathering is led by the School of Public Health.

The 2025 Public Health Conference at Washington University in St. Louis marks the first time the annual gathering falls under the umbrella of WashU’s newly launched School of Public Health.  

This year’s conference, Science for Health Systems, will take place Oct. 29-31 at the Charles F. Knight Executive Education & Conference Center on the Danforth Campus, in partnership with the QuEST network, the School of Public Health, and WashU Medicine.

The conference’s focus will be on new research on the measurement and improvement of health system performance. It will bring together researchers, policymakers, implementers, trainees, and others working across multiple disciplines and all regions of the world to engage around health system methods, results, and policies that maximize health impact. The conference’s key themes are innovations in quality and performance measurement; tests of improvement at scale; and effective policy translation. 

The conference offers discounts for early-career professionals. See program and registration details here.
