Fashions are dangerous things. But it seems that global health is no ephemeral trend. Every year, the field grows stronger. The Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) is a young organisation—its 2014 conference is only its fifth annual meeting. But in this short time, CUGH has established itself as a major venue for the presentation of the very best new work in global health. This year is no exception. More than 1400 individuals from around the world are attending the event. This year, the meeting sees a number of firsts: the Gairdner Global Health Awardee lecture and CUGH's inaugural Global Health Film Festival.
