Conferences and Events

Below you’ll find information on upcoming conferences and events for health care professionals who work in the area of sexual health and STI prevention. Additional resources for health care professionals are available here.

August 31 – September 2, 2026
InterContinental Buckhead, Atlanta, GA

The 2026 STI Prevention Conference is designed in response to a dramatically shifting landscape marked by shrinking federal and state funding, terminated research grants, workforce shortages, and policies that increasingly make sexual healthcare inaccessible. Convened under the theme, Forward Together: Uniting Science, Community, and Care for STI Prevention, the conference reflects both the urgency of the moment and the optimism that meaningful progress is still within reach, especially if we act collectively.

Conference registration will be intentionally capped at 500 participants to foster an environment that supports meaningful engagement, thoughtful dialogue, and the development of strong collaborations.
