Convening, Aligning and Building Trust to Transform Communities

Public health data modernization holds the power to transform public health and improve health for communities. Although the discussions around data modernization often centers on systems, technical infrastructure, and data standards, there are many reasons why law and policy are indispensable components of the movement to modernize public health data.

Join us for a three-day virtual summit for insights and guidance on navigating an ever-shifting public health data legal landscape. Get valuable information on legal frameworks and agreements for public health data exchange, the disparate confidentiality protections that apply to public health data, and current enforcement, rulemaking and other developments. Sessions will also examine the role of law and policy in supporting justice and community power in data and data technology, including AI.
