The conference will not be happening in 2024 as we strategize for future events.

This conference is for health care and service providers who work with individuals with brain injury. It is also applicable for those in research. While anyone who is interested is welcome to attend, it is important to note that many of the presentations have technical elements.

There are no in-person conference-related events. While COVID-19 continues to be a factor, hosting our conference virtually also means we are able to truly be a national conference, and at the same time be more accessible to people who were previously unable to attend due to travel or financial reasons.

We may have in-person events in the future that are not related to our conference – so keep an eye out for event announcements.

The Brain Injury Canada Conference is not certified to offer credit to be put towards any degrees, certificates, or professional development at this time.

Brain Injury Canada recognizes the need for more diverse research and funding in order to see more inclusive and representative results. It is one of our goals to find ways to support diverse research in the field of brain injury so we can continue to feature that research. The presenters at this year’s conference are leaders in their respective fields and foremost experts on their topics. We are pleased to be able to provide a program that focuses on the many intersectionalities of brain injury and how this can impact support offerings.

We are using an online conference platform called Pheedloop, which is known for being intuitive and user-friendly.
