Home Participation RIZE Symposium

RIZE Symposium

Rise to Immunize® (RIZE) is bringing together national immunization experts and participating medical groups for a RIZE Symposium in Arlington, VA at The Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City on November 9-10. This in-person, interactive meeting consists of two half-days of content—including compelling speakers, panel discussions, and breakout sessions—as well as a reception and dinner to network with your peers.

This symposium is the only in-person meeting held specifically for RIZE campaign participants. We hope you join us for this unique opportunity to learn on-the-ground strategies for improving routine adult immunization rates! To make travel more accessible for you, we are offering a travel reimbursement of up to $1,000 per AMGA member group.
