Abstract Submissions Open for AI and Public Health Conference

AIxPH is a first-of-its-kind convening designed to help pro-health organizations responsibly adopt AI and prepare for broader societal impacts.

The National Network of Public Health Institutes is now accepting abstract submissions for AIxPH 2026, the first annual conference on artificial intelligence (AI) and public health, taking place October 13-16, 2026, in Baltimore, MD.

AIxPH 2026 is the first national convening dedicated exclusively to artificial intelligence and public health—designed both to help pro-health organizations responsibly adopt AI and to help them prepare for the broader societal impacts of this technology. AIxPH 2026 welcomes government agencies, nonprofit organizations, universities and industry partners together in one convening to encourage cross-disciplinary connections and idea sharing.

AIxPH 2026 seeks to accelerate the ethical, responsible, and effective use of AI in public health practice by:

Elevating real-world implementation findings, including instructive failures
Understanding and evaluating the technologies driving predictive, generative, and agentic AI
Engaging community voices and centering public health values in conversations on AI’s societal benefits and risks
Navigating opportunities and challenges amid uncertainty, resource constraints and public scrutiny

We invite practitioners to share their expertise, insights, findings, and best practices for the next era of public health! Abstract submissions should be geared towards building practical skills, increasing specific knowledge, and sharing effective resources. We welcome abstracts highlighting successful implementations, challenges encountered, and instructive failures from which others can learn.

We also invite industry representatives to partner with AIxPH 2026 and develop opportunities to share their perspectives, including descriptions of AI products and related services. Please see our exhibitor and sponsor prospectus (link coming soon). Industry representatives are also welcome to support abstracts led by practitioners.
