GLOBAL HEALTH & HUMANITARIAN SUMMIT
April 1st -3rd, 2011 at Emory University
The Global Health & Humanitarian Summit was dreamed up by luminary innovator Dr. Neil Shulman , a Global HEED Board of Advisors member. After being involved in so many causes affecting the human condition throughout his life, he wanted to have a conference celebrating individuals who devote their lives to the betterment of people the world over, the people who are on the ground persevering through hardships to create a better world in areas of poverty & malaise.
Global HEED will be co-hosting the event, which will be on April 1st-3rd, 2011 on Emory University’s campus. Global HEED Executive Director Sonny Bandyopadhyay is a Co-Director for the conference, along with Emory students Megan Cohen and Yaeji Park.

The purpose of the Summit is to spearhead an international movement to recruit volunteers and resources, create a networking setting for people doing humanitarian work, and to ignite similar events around the globe.
Presenters and attendees are from all religions, political parties, nationalities, and economic strata. Through this event and this movement, we hope to collectively foster and harness the tremendous human potential to do good!
Cost for Attending
It can be puzzling that similar events charge upwards of $250 per person to attend a conference on humanitarianism. So, the Global Health & Humanitarian Summit is free of charge.
