Join Us in Revitalizing the Global Health Advocacy Agenda
Global Health Council (GHC) is proud to announce that the 2018 Global Health Landscape Symposium (GHLS18) will take place on November 30 in Washington, DC. This one‐day meeting will convene policy and program leads from global health organizations across multiple sectors. It will encourage crucial conversations that drill down on barriers and best practices to address changes in the global health landscape. Speakers and participants will be asked to propose both aspirational ideas and pragmatic solutions for the benefit of people served by nonprofit organizations, for‐profit corporations, and government institutions.
We came together at last year’s annual thought leadership symposium (see below) in anticipation of funding and political trends, but this year we will reinvigorate our advocacy agenda to address these changes to the global health landscape head-on. Key objectives at this year’s event include identifying inroads and strategies that bolster global health investments and leadership; discussing setbacks to global health support; acknowledging constraints or limitations of the current environment; anticipating other forthcoming changes to the global health landscape; committing to evolve; and gaining information and tools to inform future planning and advocacy.
Learn more about becoming a GHLS18 sponsor and ensure your participation in the symposium today!
Registration will begin October 1. View ticket types and prices below.
