The Northeast Alliance Health Conference is an annual gathering of healthcare professionals dedicated to the health and wellness of people with increased risk for HIV, STIs and sexual health, mental health, substance use, and other socially driven health care outcomes.
This year's two-day conference will be taking place at The Provincetown Commons, located in Provincetown, Massachusetts on October 30th and 31st, 2025.
This year's agenda will feature interactive and didactic presentations on an array of topics that will be announced soon.
All meals will be provided for during the course of the conference. Attendees are expected to cover the costs of their transportation and lodging. Upon registration, participants will receive an email with detailed information where they can book their stay at one of the two reserved lodging locations.
Please Note: Due to the limited training space, we politely ask agencies to limit the number of staff representing their agency to 1 or 2 attendees. Attendees registering with an agency that already has 2 participants will be placed on a waitlist and removed from the event's registration to allow space for other attendees.
For more information, please reach out to the director of the NEAETC Connecticut Local Partner Site, Dante Gennaro, at Dante.Gennaro@yale.edu.
