The theme for this year's event - Celebrating Innovation and Supporting Proven Practices at Scale - seeks to balance the need for evidence based scaling of proven systems with the urgent need to determine how emerging technologies and approaches can dramatically improve health outcomes. The 2019 Global Digital Health Forum will be an expanded event, with capacity for 600-700 attendees to accommodate the increased demand we saw last year. We will have engaging sessions to connect government stakeholders, digital health technologists, researchers, donors, implementers and field experts from across the globe. The Forum will once again feature TED-style talks, panel presentations, hands-on workshops, the interactive "Appy Hour", vendor tables, and an opportunity to showcase your work on a poster.
