Register Now for the 2017 Quality Forum!

We know you've been waiting as we coordinated with hundreds of speakers, reviewed over 300 abstracts, and planned a jam-packed schedule of events. Now the wait is over! Register today for Quality Forum 2017, happening March 1-3!

The Forum will sell out well in advance, so don't wait too long to choose your sessions - especially because you might need some time to review all the breakout sessions, workshops, field trips, pre-Forum sessions, breakfast meetings, and other special events.

We know it's hard to choose - but rest assured, every choice is a good one. Each presenter, session, and storyboard has been carefully chosen to provide high-quality, diverse, and engaging content.

Enrich Your Experience with a Pre-Forum Session!

This year, we're offering two full-day sessions on Wednesday, March 1. These sessions take a deep dive into important topics in quality improvement, and offer the opportunity for intensive learning and reflection. 

Simplifying the Journey
Last year, those involved in projects of the Joint Collaborative Committees were brought together for a day of sharing and learning. This year, the JCCs will again partner with the Quality Forum to feature a pre-Forum day of interactive workshops, this time revolving around the theme of "Simplifying the Journey."

Best of Both Worlds: Dimensions of Quality, Indigenous Perspectives
Indigenous health is one of the most important health issues facing this country. In advancing Indigenous health, how do we ensure that quality is embedded every step of the way? How can we create a system that is an accessible, equitable, and inclusive for the 21st century?

Join Us For Health Talks!

We always look forward to Health Talks, our pre-Forum evening event on March 1. Eight speakers will share their hopes for health care, accompanied by 20 photos displayed for 20 seconds each. It's an inspiring and refreshing event to kick off the Forum. 

Before our Health Talks speakers take the stage, we'll also be honouring the winners of the 2017 Quality Awards in a short ceremony. Learn about the outstanding individuals and projects that we'll be celebrating!

We hope to see you on March 1!

Get to Know Two of Our Plenary Speakers!

Each year, we are pleased to host speakers who offer rousing, surprising, and thoughtful insights during our plenary sessions. We think you'll share our excitement for the plenary speakers in store for 2017!
