2027 Preparedness Summit: Start Planning Your Abstracts

Aug 31, 2026 | Beth Hess

The call for abstracts for the 2027 Preparedness Summit, to be held April 19-21, 2027, at the Hilton Downtown Atlanta in Atlanta, GA, will open in mid-September.

The theme for the 2027 Preparedness Summit, “Preparing for What’s Next: Building Bridges for a More Connected Future,” focuses on how the preparedness ecosystem can continue to adapt, align, and sustain readiness during a period of ongoing change while maintaining the foundational capabilities that support readiness and response. 

The Summit Planning Committee invites public health, healthcare, disaster relief, emergency management, and other professionals nationwide to showcase and share their research findings, best practice training models, tools, or other resources that advance the field of public health and healthcare preparedness and response.

The committee seeks sessions that:

  • Are evidence-based;
  • Highlight programs or model practices that have proven effective in building and sustaining public health and healthcare preparedness at the national, state, local, or tribal level; and
  • Demonstrate tools and resources that are replicable and scalable at the national, state, local, or tribal level.

Click here to see the abstract submission guidelines and start planning your abstracts.

Subscribe to the Preparedness Summit e-newsletter to get the latest news on the 2027 Preparedness Summit. On behalf of the entire Preparedness Summit Planning Committee, we hope to see you next April in Atlanta.
