Marina Village Conference Center

1936 Quivira Way, San Diego, CA 92109

8am – 4pm PST

The Adelante Promotores Conference aims to inspire, educate, and strengthen the Promotores & Community Health Worker workforce by providing tools and the space to connect and recharge. The Conference is one of the ways our Coalition supports the continuous efforts of Promotores & Community Health Workers to strengthen the health and wellness of their communities.

The conference includes a variety of workshops covering topics across three tracks: trending health topics, professional development, and self-care, as well as opportunities to network and hear from local leaders. Promotores and CHWs will enhance their skills, connect with peers, and advocate for their communities.

This year’s conference will also feature a new track for Promotor/Community Health Worker employers!

Transforming Communities Together:
Creating an Equitable Future

The vision of “Transforming Communities Together” highlights the importance of working together to transform our communities into healthy, thriving, and equitable places for all.

Recognizing the critical role that Promotores and Community Health Workers play in understanding, uplifting and strengthening the fabric of their communities, this conference offers a place to come together, celebrate and strengthen collective power. 

Projected attendance for this year’s conference is 300 Promotores, Community Health Workers, and community-based organization partners within and outside of San Diego County.

Awards ceremony will take place during the 2023 Adelante Promotores Conference.
