The Canada FASD Conference is coming to Edmonton, Alberta from November 16-18, 2027. We’re excited to announce the theme will be… Connect, Shape, Transform: From Evidence to Action!
Every Canada FASD Conference builds on the conversations, connections and ideas that came before it. In 2023, we came together around Connect, Inspire, Innovate. In 2025, we focused on Shaping the Future of FASD. Now, in 2027, we’re taking the next step: transforming what we’ve learned into meaningful change across the systems.
Connect, Shape, Transform reflects both how far we’ve come as a community and the work still ahead. Over the years, we’ve built connections across Canada and beyond, shared knowledge, learned from lived and living experience, and explored ways to create a more inclusive future for people with FASD, their families and communities. Now, it’s time to build on that foundation. From research and policy to everyday practice and the systems that provide support, how can we put evidence into action? What needs to change, and how can we work together to make it happen?
Abstracts and registration coming soon
This year’s theme creates plenty of opportunities to share new research, practical approaches, lived and living experience, and ideas for strengthening support for people with FASD. Whether you’re interested in presenting a panel, sharing a presentation or submitting a poster, we want to hear from you.
The call for abstracts will be opening soon, so start thinking about what you’d like to bring to the conversation. Join our conference mailing list to be notified about conference updates and announcements.
