Public Health Informatics Virtual Event (PHIVE) 2014

CDC and Virtual Events

Declines in budgets have negatively affected the public health community making it hard to participate in traditional meetings, trainings and events.

The concept of developing immersive Virtual Instances (VIs) of in-person gatherings, making them feel more real, interactive and useful; as well as delivering them within a fully accessible, secure environment, has been the mission of the recently formed Virtual Platform Initiative (VPI) team at CDC.

For CDC and partners, VIs of in-person events, meetings and trainings propose an integrated foundation for multimedia content development and public and partner relations. VIs offer the increased ability to elevate collaboration and secure information sharing between government and public sector entities in a way that is intuitive and logical to both entities.
