Opening Celebration!
Two inspiring events, one powerful evening! The main Forum will kick off with an Opening Celebration on the evening of Tuesday, March 11. It will include a networking welcome reception prior to our evening events, where we’ll honour this year’s BC Quality Awards winners and be inspired by our annual Health Talks speakers who will all answer the question: What are your hopes for health care?
BC Quality Awards Recognition Ceremony
The evening begins with a ceremony to recognize the winners of our annual BC Quality Awards, which celebrate the people and projects that are improving the quality of care in our province. Because of their work, people in BC have better quality health care.
Health Talks: Bold Ideas, Stories That Inspire
After the Quality Awards recognition ceremony, we move to Health Talks, where we feature a diverse group of awesome speakers who will all answer the question: What are your hopes for health care? These are not to be missed – our speakers’ stories will encourage, inspire and move you, and they are powerful because of the format that Health Talks follows.
As a Powered by PechaKucha event, Health Talks’ speakers don’t use presentations full of bullet points. Instead, they use the PechaKucha presentation style, which is a visual storytelling platform that simplifies the artful process of inspiring others. The 20×20 format is short and simple: each presentation contains 20 photos and each photo is displayed for exactly 20 seconds before automatically advancing to the next one.
