ABOUT THIS CONFERENCE

Western Canada is investing heavily in healthcare infrastructure projects, but it will take a strategic approach to build tomorrow’s hospital today. This includes integrating cutting edge technology to drive efficiencies, becoming a leader in sustainability and climate resilient practices, and planning facilities so that they can adapt to changing demographics in the communities they serve.

The Canadian Institute’s 6th Annual Forum on Healthcare Infrastructure, Western Canada will delve into these layers of complexity, that require diligent planning, and innovative approaches to achieve. With a plethora of projects already in flight, it’s a critical time for key stakeholders to come together to share the design, and delivery strategies that will lead to overall project success in a mercurial market that is creating challenges for schedules and budgets alike.
