This promises to be an extraordinary event where science, innovation, and collaboration converge in one of Canada’s most stunning cities.

    This year’s theme is “From the Sea to the Sky: Unlocking the mysteries of drug action”. The program is thoughtfully designed to provide a wealth of opportunities for learning, networking, and inspiration, beginning with an industry workshop tailored specifically for students and trainees.
