The DHIS2 Annual Conference is our biggest yearly event, and provides an opportunity for the global DHIS2
community — a diverse group including implementers, developers, ministry representatives, technical
partners, donors, and other DHIS2 experts from around the world — to meet and share experiences with
DHIS2, learn about the latest developments and innovations, and make connections that can lead to new
partnerships and collaborations.
This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Annual Conference will be fully digital, allowing us to
welcome many more participants from countries around the world. The Annual Conference will bring you more
variety, interactivity, networking and innovative ways to connect with your peers.
