2026 IANPHI Annual Meeting

The IANPHI Annual Meeting 2026 will take place online during the week of 16 November 2026, bringing together National Public Health Institutes and partners from around the world for a week of collaboration, knowledge exchange, and networking.

While the format has changed, the ambition has not. Together with the Dubai Health Authority, we are designing an engaging and dynamic program that will offer the same high-quality discussions and opportunities for connection that our Members value.

Participants can look forward to inspiring plenary sessions, interactive discussions, and practical exchanges on key public health challenges and opportunities. Sessions will be designed to encourage active participation, and attendees will benefit from a dedicated event platform and mobile app, making it easy to access the program, connect with other participants, engage in discussions, and stay informed throughout the week.

To ensure Members from every region can participate, sessions will be scheduled across different times of the day, making the event accessible across multiple time zones while allowing participants to join the sessions most relevant to them.

Alongside the virtual Annual Meeting, participants from the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMRO) will have the opportunity to meet in person in Dubai for a regional gathering. This meeting will provide an opportunity to launch the IANPHI EMRO Regional Network while remaining connected to the wider global Annual Meeting.

Registration will open soon, and the full program, together with further information about the online platform and event experience, will be shared in the coming weeks.

We look forward to welcoming the global IANPHI community online this November for a week of inspiring conversations, new collaborations, and meaningful exchanges that will continue to strengthen public health systems worldwide.
