On the 9th and 19th November, CGHP hosted two half-day sessions which brought together an interdisciplinary panel of guest speakers and experts in the field of global health. The theme was collaboration for impact. Lectures, panel discussions and poster presentations were divided into four sessions: Primary Care and Public Health, Research, Practice and Education. Keynote speakers include Professor Amanda Howe and Professor Dame Sally Davies.

The conference also aimed to map out the global health network across the East of England and facilitate cross-county, interdisciplinary collaboration. 

In 2018, Cambridge Global Health Partnerships along with partners, hosted the inaugural East of England Conference.
