NEHA Annual Educational Conference & Exhibition 2026

Join us in Kansas City, Missouri, August 3-6, 2026, for NEHA's Annual Educational Conference (AEC) & Exhibition, where the brightest minds in environmental health come together to strengthen the fabric of our profession.

This year's theme, Woven Strong: The Environmental Health Tapestry, reflects how every thread, whether it's your expertise, your experiences, or your innovations, interlaces with others to create a stronger, more resilient future for public health.

At AEC 2026, you'll:

• Discover cutting-edge research and best practices from across the field.
• Gain fresh perspectives from diverse voices across the field and take home ideas you can put into practice.
• Earn Continuing Education Credits while immersing yourself in sessions that strengthen your skills, expand your expertise, and contribute to your professional journey.
• Strengthen your network by connecting with peers, mentors, and partners who share your commitment to public health.
• Add your thread to the conversation, whether through learning, engaging, or supporting others; every participant makes the tapestry stronger.
• ...and much, much more!
