October 21 to 23, 2010
Halifax Marriott Harbourfront Hotel, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
In Halifax, Nova Scotia on October 21 to 23, 2010we celebrated the Tenth Anniversary
of the Halifax Symposium and marked the end of this interesting series.
Download the Final Program
For this Tenth Anniversary, the Organizing Committee invited back some of our
great faculty from previous programmes. We wish we could have brought back every
speaker who has contributed to the legacy of this series, but because of time
and financial limitations, we had to limit our choices for this year’s program.
These speakers were challenged to reflect on what they previously presented
and to provide an update on their topics in light of current thinking. We also
asked them to give their perspectives on what the next decade should or might
bring.

Halifax Symposium attendees can expect:
- A challenging learning opportunity, designed for senior leaders and clinicians in healthcare
- A program that allows every registrant to participate in every session, and that contains no profession-specific sessions
- Themes that are academic in focus, and that examine issues from a variety of perspectives
- Speakers who are selected for their expertise, and not because they represent a discipline, a profession, or an organization
- Sessions that explore the safety experiences of other industries
- A conference that has limited capacity, so as to preserve the intimacy of the interactions among delegates and speakers
