Thank You for Your Abstract Submissions!

The abstract submission period for the 2025 Preparedness Summit, Pathways to Recovery in the Aftermath of Disasters, is closed.

Summit Planning Committee members will review all abstracts and final selections will be made by the Summit Chair.

The abstract submission period closed on September 22, 2024. Speaker notifications will mail in November.
