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 2022 marks Unite For Sight’s 19th annual Global Health & Innovation Conference, and our 3rd annual virtual convening. Our virtual format for 2022 convenes a wide variety of exceptional participants from an even wider geographic audience. Join our meeting of minds.
