Marking its 10th year, the 2026 Immunize South Dakota Conference featured an expanded format with a day and a half of programming, creating more time for learning, discussion, and collaboration.
In addition to general and breakout sessions, the conference included interactive workshops designed to support practical application and skill-building that participants could immediately apply in their work. A conference social hour followed the first day’s sessions, providing attendees an opportunity to connect with colleagues and partners.
The conference was held at Cedar Shore Resort in Oacoma, South Dakota, a new location for Immunize South Dakota that offered a relaxed setting for connection and conversation outside of Sioux Falls.
