Innovation to support collaboration, engagement, and openness across the Canadian health care landscape

There has been an increased call and focus on innovation and collaboration across the health product development and regulatory system in Canada. The 2016-17 Budget announced by the Government of Canada placed an important emphasis on developing Canada’s culture of innovation. Health Canada continues to support this effort with their strategic plans and priorities, new and ongoing openness and transparency initiatives, and opportunities for engagement and collaboration with industry, patients, provinces and territories, and many other stakeholder groups.

What does innovation mean to you? The DIA Annual Canadian Meeting 2016 will bring together key thought leaders, industry experts, academics, medical professionals, and Health Canada representatives, to explore how innovation can drive and support new initiatives, regulatory processes, research, transparency, engagement, personalized medicine, use of real-world data, and much more!

This year’s meeting will feature plenary sessions, multi-track breakout sessions, networking opportunities, short courses, round table lunch discussions, and tabletop exhibiting opportunities. There will be sessions tailored to the beginner, intermediate, and advanced level professional.
