2025 AMM & National Hybrid Conference
Highlights
From May 23–25, 2025, we came together in Calgary, Alberta—the Stampede City—for the 2025 CAFCN Annual Conference.
This year’s event was a resounding success, attracting over 270 participants both in person and online—our highest turnout to date and a milestone that easily surpassed last year’s record!
The plenary sessions held on Saturday and Sunday were conducted in the Mayfair/Belaire Room at the Westin Calgary, which was filled to capacity.
A Warm Welcome
The lobby at the Westin Calgary featured this flattering sign, welcoming conference attendees.
The registration desk was in great hands this year, thanks to Brenda (left) and Katie (right).
This fabulous group of nurses from Nova Scotia joined us virtually—hopefully they still felt the warm welcome from afar!
