CDDW™ 2022 may look a little different this year and we may need to restrict how many delegates we have onsite.

We are planning a hybrid approach to this year’s event, meaning that we will have a combination of in-person at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth, Montréal, Québec as well as live-streaming select programming for those unable to attend.

We will be working closely with our conference partners to ensure the safety of everyone who joins us in Montréal. Our focus has always been, and will continue to be, on providing exceptional educational content and beneficial networking opportunities for our delegates and valued partners.

Be sure to save the dates for the following:

• CDDW™: March 4-6, 2022

• GRIT: March 1-3, 2022

• Research Topics: March 2-3, 2022

• Scholars': March 2-3, 2022
