The annual UNC Water and Health Conference convenes stakeholders dedicated to improving public health by achieving universal access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services that are affordable and sustainable. During this conference, policymakers, practitioners, and researchers gather to review evidence, interrogate scientific studies and develop new approaches to expanding WASH access and services. Participants can expect to get the latest water science and thought leadership; hear actionable, data-driven insights; and connect with a premier community of WASH professionals. This year’s event will take place in Chapel Hill, NC with integrated virtual programming.
