Due to the increasing threat of COVID-19 and Interim Guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Public Health Foundation (PHF) has decided to cancel the 2020 Public Health Learning Forum & TRAIN Learning Network Annual Meeting scheduled for May 4-7 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We are planning to offer some of the 2020 content remotely later this year and will provide additional information at a later date.

 

Although the decision ​to cancel the 2020 meeting was a difficult one, it was the right one to make to protect the health and safety of our TRAIN community, partners, staff, and community at large. All of us play a part in supporting the public health COVID-19 response.

 

Registered attendees will receive guidance regarding refunds by the end of March.

 

Thank you for your understanding and for your personal and collective commitment to ensuring the safety, health, and well-being of the population.

 

Please direct any questions to Ilya Plotkin, Assistant TRAIN Director, at [email protected]
