This Third Digital Health Promotion Executive Leadership Summit, Digital Media & Health: Fostering Cross-Sector Collaboration for the Public Good, convenes at a time in our global history in which multi-sector partnerships to address the COVID-19 pandemic could not be more imperative. Building on prior successful Summits in 2018 and 2019, this Third Summit reflects not only the need to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but also engage more digital strategists in strengthening their capabilities, behaviors, mindsets, and ways of working in and between sectors to protect and preserve the public’s health. We thank you for joining us to reflect, deepen your understanding, and ponder your role in bridging new collaborations.  

This Summit will improve the health of society by strengthening cross-sector collaboration and discovery through:

• Examining case studies of digital health communication’s role in addressing COVID-19, crowdsourcing disease diagnosis, health outbreaks in low- and middle-income countries, health issues affecting children and teens, and other areas. 
• Presenting cutting-edge research, evaluation, and evidence-Informed best practices from diverse sectors on the impact of digital technologies on multi-cultural and linguistic populations.
• Exploring scientific, ethical, cultural, and moral issues that the digital strategist, innovator, and driver must navigate in the fast-changing and dynamic digital health communication enterprise.
