Westin Harbour Castle, Toronto, Canada

IPAC Canada’s annual conference attracts infection prevention and control professionals of all backgrounds, including nurses, physicians, epidemiologists, environmental services managers, medical laboratory technologists, dental professionals, pre-hospital/ emergency services professionals, and many other healthcare sectors across the spectrum of care. 


This is a premier event for companies providing, but not inclusive to, hand hygiene products, cleaning and disinfection products, antiseptics and antimicrobial agents, personal protective equipment, purification systems, software, and healthcare construction and renovation services.

The conference this year will be held in English only,

Hybrid Conference

It is important that our conference reaches its largest audience and that our sponsors get the most value for their contribution – a hybrid model offers the best of both worlds. The main conference will take place in-person in Toronto, and our Industry Showcase in the exhibit hall will provide you with the opportunity to showcase your products or services and engage with your stakeholders. Select sessions will be live-streamed and attendees and industry representatives will be able to interact on the virtual platform and conference app. Take advantage of this format with more avenues than ever before to connect, learn, and grow. 

Thank You To Our Sponsors
