Atlanta
For more information on things to do during your visit to Atlanta, take a look at the Discover Atlanta website. Discover Atlanta has also provided a few additional resources, which will be available for pick up at registration.
Conference app
We are utilizing Swapcard as the CleanMed mobile app. Attendees will receive a welcome email with information on how to gain access to Swapcard. Use your mobile phone to download the conference app, or search for “CleanMed 2025” in the App Store or Google Play. Use the app to configure your profile, make connections, create your personal schedule of sessions, seek out which virtual exhibitors you would like to visit, and see who’s speaking.
To log in to the app, enter the email address you used to register for the event, and an email with a “magic sign-in link” will be sent to you. You will then set a password and can begin accessing the app content. If you’ve used Swapcard before, you may have a password associated with your account, or you can request a new “magic sign-in link.”

As a reminder, the default menu is plant-forward. You indicated any different preferences you have during the registration process. Most meals will be served buffet style, but for the gala, those who selected meat-based meals will need to present their servers with their badge to receive their meal. If you have requested a dietary accommodation, such as gluten-free, vegan, Kosher, or halal, please let a server know to receive further guidance.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion
Diversity, equity, and inclusion principles and practices guided us in the planning and organization of CleanMed. We strive to continue to craft more inclusive and equitable events, and, through our evaluation process and future planning, this will continue to be a priority.
We are honored to host a diverse group of speakers representing a variety of insights, viewpoints, and lived experiences. Conference sessions were designed to engage different learning styles through smaller discussions, larger plenary gatherings, and interactive workshops. Using an accessibility assessment, we did our best to ensure there is universal access, including but not limited to closed captioning, a room for nursing, and accessible colors and contrast on our website and virtual app. Signs and other communications throughout the conference use welcoming and inclusive language. We are also gathering demographic information from participants to continue to improve the inclusivity and accessibility of CleanMed.
We are offering a virtual registration option for those who won’t be joining us in person, and we will be livestreaming all plenary sessions and some breakout sessions through our virtual event platform.
We acknowledge the land where the conference is being held, the traditional and ancestral homeland of the Muscogee and Cherokee.
We are dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers.

Collected contacts can be exported into a spreadsheet post-event.

CleanMed guests wearing their badge have an opportunity to visit the Sun Dial each conference day between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Wellness: Well-Being for Impact at CleanMed
We created the Well-Being for Impact initiative to support inner development and collective resilience across the Health Care Without Harm and Practice Greenhealth network. At its heart, the initiative is about nurturing the people who are driving change, because sustainable systems require sustainable people and relationships.
Look for the Well-Being for Impact icon on the CleanMed agenda for sessions and activities that explore fostering inner growth for transformative change. These sessions are opportunities for reflection, connection, and renewal. Please visit the initiative page on our website to learn more.
