2026 Global Health & Innovation Conference
April 18-19, 2026
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 2026 marks Unite For Sight’s 23rd annual Global Health & Innovation Conference. Join our meeting of minds. Located 15 minutes from downtown New Haven, our venue will be Slate Upper School, a new building of sustainably harvested wood that has vast windows overlooking a 40-acre nature conservancy.
