We are pleased to announce that registration is now open for the

2017 Annual Triangle Global Health Conference!

This year’s theme, Making a Difference: Global Health and its Social, Economic, and Political Impact, reflects the inextricable links that exist between global health and each of these realms. Our 2017 conference will explore these complex relationships and highlight how our work is making a difference at the individual, community and societal levels.

We are thrilled to share our keynote speakers, three incredible leaders in global health:

Pape Gaye, MBA, President and CEO of IntraHealth International, and
Michael H. Merson, MD, Wolfgang Joklik Professor of Global Health and Vice President and Vice Provost for Global Affairs at Duke University.

Nandini Oomman, PhD, Consultant in Global Health & Development and Founding Curator of The Women’s Storytelling SalonTM

The conference will also feature two plenary panel discussions:


1. Global Health Security

This plenary panel will discuss the ways in which global health investments protect America’s security. As global health efforts help people and communities become healthier, we also help control and contain disease outbreaks, create more stable and secure societies, expand democracy, and generate good will. This discussion will explore the myriad ways in which global health work promotes American security. Panelists include:

  • Michael Catalano, Senior Advisor, ICT & Digital Financial Services at USAID
  • Chrissy Godwin, MSPH, Research Associate, FHI 360
