Public Health Conference of Iowa

March 30–31, 2027

The state’s premier gathering for public health professionals, featuring networking, education, and advocacy opportunities.

Public health in Iowa is writing a new chapter. As our public health system evolves, new relationships are forming, innovative ideas are emerging, and new possibilities are taking shape. PHCI27 is about bringing those stories together because the next chapter of public health will be written by all of us. This year’s conference will bring together public health professionals, partners, and leaders from across the state for two days of learning, connection, and collaboration. Featuring inspiring keynote speakers, engaging breakout sessions, poster presentations, and valuable networking opportunities, PHCI provides a space to share ideas, explore emerging challenges and opportunities, and discover new approaches to improving the health of Iowa communities.

New location in 2027: The Meadows Event Center, Altoona IA
