Rupert Bourne, Konrad Pesudovs, Jost Jonas and Vinay Nangia attended this 4 day event with a Training Day in GBD methods and developments, followed by 2 days of lectures on the GBD collaboration and impact. Hosted by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington and the international medical journal, The Lancet, we attended a special event with Bill Gates, Co-Chairman of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Dr. Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank that tracked the evolution of the GBD Study, the actionable data that it has produced and will continue to provide, and its importance in influencing policymakers at every level. It was a truly inspirational event and there was opportunity to discuss future strategy for vision loss analysis with the GBD core team at IHME.
