​The 2018 Preparedness Summit, the first and longest running national conference on public health preparedness, will take place at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta from April 17-20. Led by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), sessions share resources, tools, and evidence-based practices that improve the nation's preparedness capacity. The theme for the 2018 Preparedness Summit is "​Strengthening National Health Security: Mastering Ordinary Responses, Building Resilience for Extraordinary Events."
