[Partner Event] MN SOPHE 2026 Annual Summit (November 05, 2026)

Thu, 05 Nov 2026 15:00:00 GMT

The annual Minnesota Society for Public Health Education (MN SOPHE) Health Education Summit brings together health education specialists and public health professionals from across the state to share knowledge, spark ideas, and strengthen the practice of health education in Minnesota.

This year, we're proud to introduce our theme—"Uninterrupted: Public Health in Action."

Public health is constantly evolving. As new challenges emerge, technologies advance, and communities' needs shift, health educators continue to adapt, innovate, and lead. Uninterrupted reflects the resilience of Minnesota's public health workforce and the ongoing commitment to improving health through collaboration, leadership, education, and action.

Throughout the day, attendees will explore the current state of public health, discover innovative partnerships and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, strengthen leadership skills, and connect with colleagues who are shaping the future of health education across our state. Whether you're new to the field or a seasoned practitioner, you'll leave with practical tools, fresh perspectives, and renewed energy to advance your work.

The MN SOPHE Planning Committee is thrilled to welcome you to an engaging lineup of speakers, thought-provoking sessions, and meaningful networking—an affordable, in-person opportunity to connect with colleagues, learn from leaders across Minnesota, and see what's moving and shaking in health education.

[Partner Event] Partners in Public Health Conference (November 17, 2026)

Tue, 17 Nov 2026 06:00:00 GMT

Save the date: 2026 Minnesota Partners in Public Health Conference

Join us November 17-19 at the Park Event Center near St. Cloud, MN, for the third annual Minnesota Partners in Public Health Conference.

Fifty years ago, in April 1976, Minnesota laid the foundation for its modern public health system with the Community Health Services Act—now known as the Local Public Health Act.

This year, local, Tribal, and state public health partners will come together around this milestone. We'll honor the past, and we'll reflect on how we're shaping the present and inspiring the future.

We hope you'll join us.
