Join us at Health Futures Unconference!
These are days of darkness and possibility, uncertainty and opportunity. We are calling doers and dreamers from all walks of life—whether you’re an entrepreneur building a new company, a seasoned health leader, a student passionate about public health, or a funder committed to systems change—to shape what comes next. Together we’ll lean into these uncertain times, challenge old assumptions and imagine new ways to create health and well-being for everyone. This isn’t just another conference. It’s a lab for innovators and changemakers to create our health futures.

What’s an unconference?
Unlike traditional conferences with panels and slides, an unconference flips the script. Participants set the agenda and lead the conversations. On the morning of September 20th, attendees will propose topics and self-organize into sessions. You'll spend the day leading sessions, sketching out ideas, and even building prototypes. Formats will run the gamut from inspiring conversations to “roll up your sleeves” problem-solving and shaping new initiatives. The best preparation is to bring your commitment and curiosity. Think about the big questions, unfinished ideas, or pressing challenges in health that you're passionate about exploring.
Expect:
- New insights, connections and collaboration
- Deep dive conversations about how to build health in these uncertain times
- A community of changemakers ready to learn and build together
