Introducing the Abstract Advising Program-
DEADLINE EXTENDED
New for the 12th Annual CUGH Conference, we are piloting an Abstract Advising Program to connect early-career CUGH and AFREhealth members (advisees) with more experienced CUGH and AFREhealth members (advisors). Once linked, the advisor and advisee will work together in a focused interaction to improve the quality of the abstract prior to submission for the CUGH conference.
Eligibility:
  • Potential Advisees must be CUGH members (individual or institutional) or AFREhealth members seeking guidance to improve their abstract prior to submission to CUGH2021.
  • Potential Advisors must be CUGH members (individual or institutional) or AFREhealth members and commit to providing high-quality and timely abstract guidance to the advisee with whom they are matched. To ensure that advisors have an appropriate level of experience, they must have been involved in writing at least five abstracts that were accepted at national or international conferences.
March 1-11, 2021
Satellite Sessions
Create a 3 or 6 hour satellite session on a big global health issue. These sessions are opportunities to convene colleagues globally to share knowledge, identify actions that can address these challenges, build partnerships and mobilize individuals to support impactful activities. Sessions will be pre-taped, with a live Q&A option, and can be led by institutions anywhere in the world. They will be staggered between March 1-11, 2021 and accessible to all. You do not have to register for the conference to access these satellite sessions which will be online for at least 6 months.
Sponsorship & Visibility Opportunities
Sponsorship logos will be displayed throughout the online conference, including during the plenaries.
Exhibitors will get to meet hundreds of interested students, faculty and global health practitioners. Each exhibitor will have their own page linked to the Virtual Exhibit Hall where they can share promotional materials, their website, videos, documents, meet face-to-face with attendees by video or respond to messages sent by attendees.
