On December 1st, Canada2020 will be hosting its Second Annual Health Innovation Conference at the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa.
This year we are focused on Changing the Paradigm: re-imagining the ways health policymakers and practitioners can offer care both in and outside the system.
This means showcasing the health innovations that are poised to transform our health system and help ease the overwhelming demographic pressures.
Following up on last year’s conference where we focused on the demographic pressures facing out health system, this year is about deepening the conversation around the actions government can take to ‘nudge’ our health system into a new paradigm – one focused on personal care, new technologies and lowering the cost curve.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Cass Sunstein, Best-Selling Author of ‘Nudge’
- William Charnetski, Chief Health Innovation Strategist, Government of Ontario
- Andrea Palmer, CEO, Awake Labs

This year’s conference will be co-chaired by Canada 2020 Advisers Shannon MacDonald (Johnson & Johnson) and Kim Furlong (AMGEN).
