These conferences take place with public funds (directly or indirectly) that are supposed to be used for evidence based interventions and reducing disparities. If CDC required that 50% of travel and hotel expenditure by ASOs/CBOs be redirected to client organizing and advocacy and grassroots prevention by peers it would be the start to make a difference. In the US we need a 50 state strategy not a continuation of the past 4 decades.
