Why Attend the AOHC Fall Conference?

The AOHC Fall Conference is one of the best opportunities of the year for Ohio’s local public health professionals to come together, learn from one another, and focus on the issues shaping the future of local public health.

This year’s conference, held September 21–23 at Embassy Suites Dublin, will bring together health commissioners, administrators, fiscal officers, directors of nursing, environmental health leaders, accreditation staff, emergency preparedness professionals, and other local health department team members from across the state.

The conference is designed to provide timely information, practical resources, and meaningful conversations that attendees can take back to their agencies. From emerging public health challenges to workforce development, leadership, technology, funding, accreditation, and day-to-day operational issues, the Fall Conference offers a valuable space to learn, ask questions, and connect with colleagues facing similar challenges.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear from subject matter experts, participate in discussions, visit with exhibitors, and build relationships with peers from other local health districts. These connections are often one of the most valuable parts of the conference, offering new ideas, shared solutions, and support from others who understand the work of local public health.

For newer health commissioners and emerging leaders, the conference is an especially important opportunity to build a stronger professional network and gain insight from experienced colleagues. For seasoned public health professionals, it is a chance to reconnect, share knowledge, and help shape the direction of Ohio’s local public health system.

Whether you are looking for educational sessions, practical tools, new partnerships, or simply time to step back and think strategically about the work ahead, the AOHC Fall Conference is a valuable investment in your professional growth and your agency’s success.

We hope you will make plans to join us in Dublin this September.
