Volunteer to moderate a session at an upcoming event

Digital Health Canada’s mission to connect, inspire, and empower digital health professionals comes to life at our events. Digital Health Canada events (regional and national, live and virtual) connect the digital health professionals who are creating the future of health in Canada, offering networking; inspiring speakers and presenters; and the empowerment that comes with continuous learning and professional development.

Moderators are an essential component of a well-run, engaging event. The moderator starts the session with a welcome, introduces the speaker, and facilitates the post-session discussion and Q+A between the audience and speakers.

Presented by members, for members, Webinar Wednesdays are a valuable member benefit and a great way for members and member organizations to share their work, research, challenges and updates. Webinar Wednesdays air weekly from September to June at 12PM ET.
