Each event brings together experts, decision-makers, healthcare leaders, and innovations that are advancing practices and models of care.

VIEW EVENT
A COMMUNITY THAT BRINGS TOGETHER HEALTH CARE STAKEHOLDERS
Meet the people moving health care forward
For the duration of an event, PLS brings together all the stakeholders who shape health care, primary care, and first-line care in Canada. Clinicians, professionals, facility managers, researchers, policy decision-makers, entrepreneurs, and innovators come together—each with a different perspective on the same issues. This diversity creates conversations that go beyond the usual silos of the health system, where front-line professionals and senior leaders speak directly, on equal footing. It is this meeting of worlds that rarely intersect elsewhere that makes each PLS event uniquely valuable.
GROW YOUR NETWORK
Connections that open new perspectives
Each PLS event is designed to multiply networking opportunities: structured activities, dedicated breaks, receptions, and meetings facilitated by the PLS app. You will meet peers facing the same challenges, as well as decision-makers and leaders who would otherwise be difficult to reach. These connections formed on the margins of sessions often turn into concrete collaborations long after the event.
