About the c2dream conference

The goal of the Annual C2DREAM Conference is to bring together community and academic audiences to learn more about cardiovascular disease in Minnesota. The conference facilitates shared learning between community and academic partners and builds networks to address health inequities in cardiovascular disease.

In addition, attendees will learn about capacity building and strategies for community-based participatory research. This conference will facilitate collaboration, bi-directional knowledge sharing, and capacity building for cardiovascular research in Minnesota.

Each year, the conference will travel to one of our institutional locations: Duluth, Twin Cities and Rochester, MN.
