Annual Conference

Join us in Calgary for #ChildHealthCan2026! 

May 31 - June 2, 2026  |  Calgary, Alberta

Join us in Calgary, Alberta for the 2026 Children's Healthcare Canada Annual Conference: Tomorrow’s Promise, Today’s Plan: Transforming children’s healthcare in Canada!

Across Canada, children’s healthcare is at a pivotal moment. Rising complexity, system disruption, widening inequities, and rapid technological change are reshaping how care is delivered—and demanding new forms of leadership, collaboration, and accountability. Tomorrow’s Promise, Today’s Plan brings together leaders from healthcare, research, policy, technology, and communities to chart a bold, practical path forward for child and youth health.
This conference explores the essential ingredients of transformation:
  • Leading through disruption with clarity, courage, and an unwavering focus on children and families.
  • Advancing equity in AI and data innovation, ensuring digital tools strengthen—rather than undermine—fairness, trust, and outcomes.
  • Building learning health systems that turn evidence into action and accelerate improvement across the country.
  • Measuring what matters, grounding decisions in outcomes that reflect the lived experiences and priorities of children, youth, and families.
  • Strengthening collective responsibility and cross-sector action, recognizing that no single institution can meet children’s needs alone.
Together, participants will craft the strategies, partnerships, and shared commitments needed to shape a healthier future for all children in Canada.
