International HPH Conference

The annual International Conference on Health Promoting Hospitals and Health Services (HPH) is the main event of the International HPH Network. It is a forum for learning and exchanging knowledge and experiences on health promotion in and by hospitals and health services. Since 1993 the annual HPH Conference, hosted by a HPH Network, has attracted a very wide range of professionals – from health practitioners to consultants, scientists, and politicians. On average, the conference hosts about 500 delegates per year.

Our next conference will take place in Vienna, Austria from 20 -22 September, 2023. Click here to learn more!
