Public Health Conversations.

Online or in person, we share and build knowledge

SPH leads with its ideas.

Our Public Health Conversations bring speakers together to engage in thoughtful conversations about the pressing issues of public health. They are free and open to the global community, designed to inform, stimulate, and encourage groundbreaking discussion. Thousands of participants attend in real time, while hundreds view the programming after the fact on our website archive.

While these events range from intimate gatherings to robust assemblies and take place both in person and online, they have a common purpose: to share, as broadly as possible, the best ideas in public health—then translate those ideas into impact.

• 110,000+ people have viewed our Public Health Conversations so far.
• Viewers from 130 different countries across the world have tuned in to our Public Health Conversations.
• SPH has hosted 150+ Public Health Conversations since 2015.
• Since 2015, BUSPH featured 429 speakers as part of its Public Health Conversations.

How you can help

Generating knowledge is critically important, but ideas are nothing without ways to communicate them and people to test them. Our content-based programming is essential— and funds enable us to engage speakers from all over the globe and ensure we have the latest technologies and capacities to host innovative programming. With strong financial support from sponsors, SPH can continue and even strengthen its influential Public Health Conversations.

SPH Public Health Conversations offer sponsors an exciting opportunity to reach an influential, high-level audience. We look forward to partnering with corporations and foundations as we plan and execute these events. Sponsorship opportunities exist at a number of levels, as detailed below.

“I think that it’s a great community forum,” student Walae Hayek said of a recent seminar, “so that people can be updated and people can understand exactly what’s going on in terms of what we’re doing as a school and what we’re doing as part of the community.”
