CSTE Annual Conference
The CSTE Annual Conference connects more than 2,500 public health epidemiologists from across the country and includes workshops, plenary sessions with leaders in the field of public health, oral breakout sessions, roundtable discussions, and poster presentations.
Conference attendees meet and share their expertise in surveillance and epidemiology as well as best practices in a broad range of areas including informatics, infectious diseases, substance use, immunizations, environmental health, occupational health, chronic disease, injury control, and maternal and child health. During the conference, CSTE members vote on position statements, which instigate nationwide policy change and create new initiatives. This is a great opportunity to meet, build relationships, and network with your professional colleagues and peers.
All CSTE AEF fellows are sponsored and required to attend the CSTE Annual Conference each year of their fellowship.
Fellows submit an abstract for a project or activity they have completed such as their surveillance system evaluation and/or an outbreak investigation.

![“I am thankful for the opportunity to conduct a surveillance system evaluation during my fellowship, as this process was an incredibly valuable and intensive way to examine how my host site conducted surveillance of Cyclospora. I am even more grateful to have been able to share my findings at the 2022 CSTE Annual Conference. CSTE was my first in-person public health conference, and it was a great opportunity for me to network with epidemiologists across America."
