We have entered a new era of global mobility — one where mass gatherings and interconnected travel networks can rapidly amplify infectious disease risks. As the 2026 World Cup approaches, how can local public health teams prepare for the challenges that large-scale international events bring?
In this webinar, we explore the intersection of disease surveillance, global connectivity, and event preparedness, highlighting what health authorities need to know to anticipate and mitigate emerging threats.
Dr. Andrea Thomas, Head of Epidemiology, hosts Dr. Mariana Torres, Head of Global Surveillance and Josephine De Leon, MMASc, Manager of Applied Epidemiology, for an in-depth discussion on how data-driven intelligence can support readiness at the local level before, during, and after major mass gathering events.
Key topics covered will include:
- The “local-global loop”: how local outbreaks can escalate through international connectivity.
- Lessons from previous global events and their implications for local surveillance systems.
- Key trends our team is keeping an eye on ahead of the world’s largest sporting event.
- Building event-based surveillance capacity at local levels to strengthen early warning, situational awareness, and response coordination.
Equip yourself with the insights needed to safeguard your community during high-impact global events.
