2019 CAA Conference Recap
Our Speakers
Thank you to the 26 speakers from around the world who travelled to Halifax to share their knowledge with us. Thank you!
Susan Mitche – Opening Keynote: Applying the Behaviour Change Wheel to Designing and Evaluating Interventions to Help Clinicians Help Patients
Participants
We welcomed people from 11 Canadian provinces and territories plus 5 other countries. The compliments, notes of gratitude and positive stories are still coming in from our greater than 460 registrants.
Presidents Lunch and Awards Ceremony
This year we focussed 100% on connecting with our attendees and speaker and highlighted the award winners instead of holding the AGM. Each table had time to engage with colleagues and begin lifelong connections.
