22nd Annual Alberta Biomedical Engineering Conference

The Alberta BME Conference is an annual conference featuring presentations by undergraduate and graduate students from across Western Canada with guest speakers and industry participation.

The conference is organized by the UCalgary Biomedical Engineering Graduate Program and a multi-institutional steering committee comprised of representatives from the University of Calgary, University of Alberta and University of Saskatchewan. It's a great opportunity to see the latest biomedical engineering innovations and network with faculty, students, and industry.

This year’s Alberta Biomedical Engineering Conference hosts Paul Zehr (University of Victoria), Kerry Black (University of Calgary), and Bonnie Gray (Simon Fraser University) as keynote speakers, and Emily Hicks (Fredsense Technologies) and Meaghan Nolan (Mikata Health) as industry panelists. Further speaker details to be announced.

This year the conference will be hosted both virtually and in-person at the Banff Park Lodge.

There is a room block available for conference attendees for both Friday and Saturday night. Rooms are $175/night for a Superior Room, based on single or double occupancy. Triple or quad occupancy is available at a cost of $15/night, per additional guest.
