Call for Speakers
Are you leading innovation in healthcare infrastructure design, planning, or delivery for seniors? Share your expertise and practical insights!
Apply NowCanada is entering the “Super Age” — a new era of population aging that is reshaping how healthcare is planned, funded, designed, and delivered.
As Canada’s older population grows, demand is increasing for long-term care, hospitals, community-based services, supportive housing, and aging-in-place solutions. The challenge is not simply building more facilities; it is creating infrastructure that can adapt to changing needs and support people across the continuum of care.
CI’s 2nd Annual Forum is a national conference bringing together senior leaders from across Canada in government, healthcare, long-term care, architecture, engineering, construction, and technology to explore what Canada needs to build, fund, and plan for the future of aging care. Through practical insights, innovative approaches, and real-world case studies, the forum will highlight strategies for creating flexible, accessible, sustainable, and future-ready environments – from homes and communities to long-term care and hospitals.
