Conferences

HEDRA runs international conferences online, on healthcare-related topics. Our online conferences are aimed at broadening the range of voices contributing to the professional understanding of healthcare experiences. Our online conferences connect people working across a broad range of academic, professional, clinical and artstic  fields to share experiences, responses, and insights. Conferences combine video keynotes with pre-recorded parallel sessions online, and live roundtable discussions. All submissions are eligible for publication. Fees are adjusted for participants in developing and transitional economies. All participants receive a signed certificate of participation.
