Get ready for the Cdn Diagnostic Executive Forum

TORONTO – Please join us at the Canadian Diagnostic Executive Forum (CDEF) 2026, taking place in Toronto from October 18-20. Brought to you by In-Common Laboratories (ICL), the CDEF is the premier gathering for shaping the future of diagnostics in Canada. Industry leaders will discuss emerging trends, operational excellence, and the evolving role of diagnostics in improving patient care across the country.

This year’s theme is Powering Innovation in Canadian Lab Medicine.

“The CDEF is a fantastic event that brings together Canadian hospital executives and lab leaders to engage on the latest and greatest from across the country,” said Daniel Beriault, Division Head of Clinical Biochemistry, Unity Health Toronto. “The speakers are excellent and the ‘Cross Country Check-up’ is by far one of the most valuable sessions you’ll go to all year.”

Will Falk (pictured), healthcare strategist, advisor and Executive-in-Residence at the Rotman School of Management, will be one of several keynote speakers at this year’s conference. Mr. Falk is interested in the impacts of technological change on health systems and their governance and payment mechanisms.

He works with several innovative enterprises on digital health and software development including as an Innovation Fellow at Women’s College Hospital Institute for Health System Solutions and Virtual Care. His presentation will focus on the regulation of generative AI in global health care contexts in 2026.

Tickets for the CDEF are now available, with early bird pricing until July 13, 2026. Register your attendance now and learn more about this important event at cdeforum.ca.
