We can’t wait to welcome you to Washington, D.C. for APHA 2025! Attending in person means you’ll experience the full energy of our Annual Meeting, from engaging sessions and networking opportunities to special events and unique activities, including our rally for public health.

You may hear talk about the Administration’s recent deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C. This is a change, but we wanted to share that APHA staff live in the D.C. area and work in the city. We enjoy and feel safe in this vibrant and welcoming city, and you should also.

There’s so much to see, do and discover while you’re here, both at the meeting and around D.C! It is filled with history, culture and exceptional attractions, where visitors can feel at ease and enjoy an unforgettable experience.

Join us for an Art Tour of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center!

In a city famed for its museums, the Washington Convention Center is often called the “best kept secret” in the nation's capital. It houses the country’s largest public art collection outside of a museum, and the largest of any convention center nationwide. APHA is partnering with the WEWCC to offer tours of the art exhibit on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evening. For just $10, you can join APHA art enthusiasts for a curated tour of the collection! Don’t forget to add this to your registration; tickets are first come, first served.
