About the Conference

Dates: October 23–24, 2026
Location: UBC Robson Square, Vancouver, BC

Hosted by the BC Pediatric Society in collaboration with the Division of Nephrology

The BC Pediatric Society is a non-profit professional association of pediatricians dedicated to advancing child and youth health across British Columbia. The Society supports pediatric professionals through advocacy, education, and collaboration across the province.

Each year, the Society hosts a two-day conference focused on current and emerging issues in pediatric medicine. The event brings together over 150 pediatricians and child health professionals from across British Columbia to share knowledge, explore best practices, and strengthen connections within the pediatric community.

We are proud to announce that this year’s partner is the Division of Nephrology. The Division of Nephrology is a clinical and academic sub-specialty group focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of kidney-related conditions and hypertension. The Division typically includes physicians, nurse clinicians, allied health professionals, educators, and researchers who provide patient care, lead clinical education, conduct research initiatives, and contribute to professional development within pediatric and adult health systems.
