Public, Industry and Community<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

All Together at PLS<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The public network, industry and the community sector each hold part of the solution. At PLS, they act together. <\/p>

This changes the quality of the conversation. Issues are seen from every angle. Projects move faster, because the people who can make them happen are already in the room. And collaborations emerge where no one expected them. <\/p>

A hallway conversation is sometimes enough to unblock a file that has been stalled for months.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Content That Speaks to Every Role<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Keynote Presentations, Panel Discussions, and Strategic Forums<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Whether you lead an organization, manage a team, develop a solution or carry a community project, PLS offers content made for your reality.<\/p>

Keynotes give the big picture. Roundtables go deep into the issues. Strategic forums put challenges on the table and look for paths to action. Each year, a unifying theme guides the program. In 2027, Agir ensemble (Acting Together) puts collaboration models, rapidly deployed projects and solutions already working elsewhere at the center. <\/p>

You leave with ideas you can apply the following week.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n \t\t\t\"\"\/\t\t\t\t\t

The Network's Meeting Place.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Dozens of federal and provincial politicians have attended PLS over the years. Leaders of the largest health organizations, in Canada and abroad, have also taken the stage. They come because the exchanges are direct and the discussions lead to action. <\/p>

Every year, more than 2,000 people from across the country gather at PLS with the same intention: to move the network forward. Ideas are tested, projects gain momentum and solutions are built with the people who can carry them out. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

The person you have been trying to reach for months is a few steps away, ready to talk with you. Several participants confirm it: it is the equivalent of 3 to 6 months of outreach and business development in just 2 days at PLS. <\/p>

The PLS app helps you plan your meetings, spot the right people and stay in touch well after the event. CONNECT PLS, our B2B meeting space, gives you a place to set meetings and go deeper in your conversations. Events take place in person only, because value is created in the connections built on site. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
