2025 IN-PERSON CONFERENCE
April 26-27, 2025

We are thrilled to return to an in-person Global Health & Innovation Conference! Live in ‘25!

After several years holding the conference virtually during and after the COVID period, this year’s event will be held on a nature conservancy in North Haven (located 15 minutes from New Haven). The venue will be Slate Upper School, a new building of sustainably harvested wood that has vast windows overlooking a 40-acre nature conservancy.

GHIC: The world's leading global health and innovation conference.

The Global Health & Innovation Conference (GHIC) is an annual event that dives deep into bold ideas, transformative innovation, and responsible global engagement. We bring together those who are creative, curious, talented, and passionate. We are innovators, thinkers, collaborators, and doers. We think differently, we have deep conversations, and we are collectively transforming organizations and inspiring communities.

April 2025 marks Unite For Sight’s 22nd annual Global Health & Innovation Conference. Join our meeting of minds.
