A note for our physician friends: HPCO no longer seeks Mainpro accreditation for our annual conferences. The cost in staff time to compile and complete the Mainpro application was disproportionate to the benefit accreditation provided to HPCO. Our focus is to provide the best possible experience for the wide range of conference delegates from all professions and roles within hospice palliative care.

This fee is applicable to approved Lead Presenters for this year’s conference. If you are a Lead Presenter, HPCO will send you a special registration code and instructions to complete your conference registration.

A limited number of student spots are available. The student rate is available to full-time students only (student ID required). Please contact conference@hpco.ca to confirm if you qualify for this rate. If approved, you will receive a special registration code and instructions to complete your conference registration.
