Health Talks is our annual pre-Forum evening event, and will take place the evening of Tuesday, February 25. It is a perfect activity for those who attend a pre-Forum session, arrive in Vancouver for the Forum, or for anyone seeking an inspirational end to their work day.

The event starts with a ceremony to recognize the eight winners of the BC Patient Safety & Quality Council’s annual Quality Awards, which celebrate improvements in quality of care. Then, eight engaging and passionate speakers will answer our question: What are your hopes for health care?

But Health Talks’ speakers don’t use presentations full of bullet points. They use the PechaKucha 20×20 format, where each presentation contains 20 photos and each photo is displayed for exactly 20 seconds before automatically advancing to the next one.
