8th Annual Healthy Churches 2030 Conference

The Balm In Gilead, Inc. created an enthralling virtual space for public health leaders and faith communities in this one-of-a-kind virtual conference equipping African American congregations and public health professionals with the tools to confront racial inequities in healthcare and wellness programs. Attendees entered a hustling and bustling lobby and were incentivized to stay on the event with the help of leaderboards and scavenger hunts. The event also included a conference survey which allowed the hosts to get a quick evaluation of their event. This was a great way to get instant feedback. The 4 day event had various webinar sessions running each day, plus attendees could create their own schedules for the webinars. The virtual event platform was a great example of a vibrant and happening space for attendees to come together. It even connected attendees via the networking lounge where they could chat with each other. An excellent way to help people network while separated by distance.
