Abstract	The NEHA 2018 AEC and HUD Healthy Homes Conference, presented by Green & Health Homes Initiative, proved to be an exciting, groundbreaking, and very successful event. This year, NEHA cohosted the conference with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), bringing together more than 1,500 environmental health professionals to discuss and learn how their peers work with multiple agencies, industries, and levels of government to build bridges, bonds, and benefits to ensure the safety of the public and environment. The 2018 AEC took place June 25–28 in sunny Anaheim, California, which provided the perfect atmosphere and energy for the over 1,500 environmental health professionals who attended. Kicking things off was a fireside chat with HUD Deputy Secretary Pamela Hughes Patenaude, which was moderated by NEHA Executive Director Dr. David Dyjack. Patenaude highlighted the importance of ensuring adequate resources for healthy housing and protecting families by promoting the prevention of hazards in the home. Next up was Frank Yiannas, vice president of food safety and health for Walmart, who delivered a powerful Keynote Address to a packed house of 1,100 attendees. Yiannas discussed the importance of thinking about human behavior and how it relates not only to food safety but also all of environmental health. “The future of environmental health is both high tech and high touch. We have to also change human behavior. It’s all about helping Americans live better,” he stated. The 2018 AEC offered a record 320 educational sessions spanning 4 days, covering NEHA 2018 AEC WRAP-UP
