Info: Key decision makers from Health Canada will be present to discuss the overall regulatory frame work and engage in an open dialog with our community.

Info: This session explores how to move from transactional purchasing to true partnership. Speakers will share practical approaches to risk-based vendor qualification, working across multiple licence types, and managing international suppliers under GMP and GPP expectations. We’ll discuss the supplier metrics that actually drive performance, as well as real-life stories of relationships that went wrong—and how they were repaired. What happens to your operations when a critical supplier fails, shuts down, or loses compliance? This panel digs into contingency planning, dual-sourcing, and using data to keep production stable. Learn how LPs, labs, and suppliers are turning quality processes into business advantages through smarter forecasting, better communication, and technology-enabled oversight.

Info: Data provided by Pure Sun Farms team on the challenges and opportunity to move to a potency range labelling framework.

Info: Led by Indigenous experts and leaders, this session will highlight how relationship-based approaches to supply chains can strengthen accountability, sustainability, and long-term success. Participants will learn how traditional knowledge can inform modern quality systems and how Indigenous governance models can inspire more ethical procurement and partnership practices across the industry.

Info: Regulatory risk increasingly runs through your suppliers. This panel connects Health Canada trends and inspection findings with day-to-day supplier oversight. We’ll cover common PCP pitfalls, practical approaches to record retention and documentation, and how LPs are aligning GPP, EU GMP, and provincial requirements without duplicating effort. Expect candid conversation about what inspectors actually look for—and where companies stumble.

Info: Micro license operations make good business sense in the current market conditions but what impact do they have on quality. Join this informative session to discuss with C45 experts the costs and benefits of fractional QAP or leveraging technology like AI to assist with smaller operations in a regulatory environment.
