The in-person day will occur on November 20th, from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. This year’s conference theme, “Shattering Invisibility: Let Your Light Shine. Break the Stigma,” reflects our continued commitment to creating spaces for dialogue, education, collaboration, and action.

Stigma related to HIV, Sickle Cell Disease, Mental Health, Autism, Epilepsy, Hansens Disease (Leprosy), and more will be covered. Additional programming will include leadership development sessions and specialized sessions for faith-based communities.

to TRANSPIRE 2026! đź’ˇ We are still reminiscing about the lovely time we had! Just a couple of weeks ago, we were in rooms full of public health professionals who were eager to learn and connect. We swapped ideas, learned from peers across the country, and left with new energy (and a full notebook). Already counting down to the next one!

From September 28 to October 1, health department professionals from across the country came together in Scottsdale, Arizona, for NASTAD's national technical assistance conference. Attendees shared ideas, worked through challenges in our implementation sandboxes, and left with practical strategies to strengthen HIV, hepatitis, and drug user health programs back home.

Thank you to the health department staff members who joined us in Scottsdale to strengthen HIV, hepatitis & drug user health programs, and to our sponsors, for making it possible!đź’™
