The Can-SOLVE CKD Annual Meeting brings together patients, researchers, clinicians, and partners from across Canada to share knowledge, strengthen connections, and advance kidney health research.

As we celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Can-SOLVE CKD Network, this year’s meeting marks both a moment of reflection and a time of renewed momentum. With continued support from our partners and recent funding to advance our next phase of work, we are focused on turning research into meaningful change for people living with kidney disease.

Join us for engaging discussions, collaborative learning, and opportunities to shape the future of kidney care.

We look forward to gathering in Québec City, on the ancestral territories of the Wendat, Innu, and Abenaki peoples.

*All sessions will take place at Delta Hotels Québec unless otherwise noted.

Nominations for the 2026 Can-SOLVE CKD Awards are now closed — recipients will be announced at the Annual Meeting

The Barbara Ann LeGay Award for Patient-Oriented Research and the Howard Vincent Reconciliation Award recognize individuals across the Can-SOLVE CKD Network who are making meaningful contributions to patient-oriented research and Indigenous health.

Do you know a patient partner who demonstrates strong leadership and is working to address gaps in healthcare? Do you know a non-Indigenous network member who is actively contributing to advancing Indigenous health and Reconciliation?
