Courage and Compassion: The Currency of Care recognizes that the true measure of our work is more than efficiency and scale—it is the human values and interactions that sustain them. This premier event promises to inspire and connect leaders and decision-makers from across sectors, including continuing care, health care, seniors’ services, and government.
We are inviting bold ideas, grounded in research and real-world experience, that place compassion, collaboration, and courageous leadership at the centre of transformation. Together, we will explore how values-driven decisions translate into resilient organizations, fulfilling experiences, improved outcomes, and care systems worthy of the trust placed in them.
