About the Event

What is the Innovating a Healthier Future Summit?

The Innovating a Healthier Future Summit, formerly the Building a Healthier Future Summit, is PHA’s annual convening of the nation’s foremost public and private sector advocates committed to ending childhood obesity.

At PHA, we believe healthy innovation and market disruption are necessary to make nutritious food more accessible to American families. In fact, we believe that innovation is the foundation for the revolution to raise a healthier generation of children – and that working toward this common goal propels companies forward in today’s rapidly evolving marketplace. Our event will bring solutions to some of the toughest challenges facing the industry today knowing that no single business model or sector are off-limits to a raw burst of change.

Who Should Attend the Summit?

PHA was created to engage the private sector and other organizations in finding ways to make the healthy choice the easy choice for busy parents and families. Summit attendance typically includes one-third private sector attendees; one-third nonprofit sector attendees; and one-third representatives from government, foundations and academic organizations. If you or your organization strives to directly or indirectly make healthier choices easier for parents and families, and you’re ready to create and implement solutions, you should not miss this opportunity to get involved on the national level.

The Summit provides a unique opportunity for business and industry leaders to sit at the table with their nonprofit, academic and government counterparts to collaborate on new opportunities and solutions for reducing childhood obesity in America by transforming the marketplace.
