Everyone who works in population and public health requires access to cutting-edge research, up-to-date information on programs and policies to put forth the positive results, and operate to diverse networks to assist them to do the best work possible. Public Health 2020 – Canada’s largest public health knowledge exchange event – that bestows the delegates access to all of this, and more. Members of the conference will explore the social and ecological determinants of health and address solutions to a wide range of complex and ‘wicked’ problems. Attendees will have an opportunity to better understand the ways research, program and policy decision-making processes are positively impacted by utilization of diverse types of knowledge and through the active participation of those with relevant lived experience.
