Cherry Insights: Conference Season and Connecting for a Healthier Future

The Canadian healthcare conference season is in full swing, and it's a vibrant time for innovation and collaboration. We've been on the ground, connecting with the people and companies who are shaping the future of care in Canada.

At Cherry, we participate and support these events because we believe that the healthcare system in Canada has some serious silo’s that need to be broken down.  There are thousands of people and companies out there solving BIG problems and yet, it’s incredibly difficult for practitioners, providers and patients to hear about them.  Projects like the Canada Infoway Scribe program and these conferences are critical to help and we hope to be able to bring the ecosystem together as well.

Our recent time at the OntarioMD Digital Health Conference was a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces and meet a host of new ones, while learning from some very interesting speakers. This is an EXCELLENT event! We were also inspired by the energy and fresh ideas at events like the Plug and Play breakfast and the TechThursdays HealthTech Founder Dinner.

An up and coming conference that we’re excited to support is the Canadian Healthtech Innovation Symposium this November in Calgary. With over 50 speakers presenting on interactive panels and talks, government attendees and over over 150 healthcare companies, this is shaping up to be a conference that you don’t want to miss, as a practitioner or provider. BONUS - As a valued member of the Cherry network, you can claim $200 off your ticket to attend! Claim here: CHERRY200.

At Cherry, we’re working to bring these companies and conferences to you on the Cherry Health Hub, giving you preferred access to their offerings and bringing awareness to their solutions. We also feature these leaders and partners on our podcast, Leaders in Healthcare, to showcase their work and how it can benefit your practice or organization. We’re constantly adding to the Hub and look forward to bringing you many new partners soon - Stay tuned!

We are committed to providing you with the support you need to deliver the best care possible. The innovative solutions we've seen are a testament to the incredible talent and dedication within the Canadian health tech ecosystem.

For those of you who share our passion for innovative technology in healthcare, we look forward to seeing you at the Canadian HealthTech Symposium in November!
