CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

MARCH 25 & 26, 2010 AT THE WESTIN PRINCE HOTEL, 900 YORK MILLS ROAD, TORONTO

KEYNOTE SPEAKER

The Nursing Leadership Network of Ontario continues to provide a forum where nursing leaders across the health care spectrum can come together in a collegial environment, sharing their success stories, identifying common challenges, debating practical application strategies and learning from the experiences of others. We invite all interested nurses involved in leadership roles at all levels to consider submitting an abstract for either concurrent session presentation or poster presentation. The two day conference program format is filled with a series of multiple concurrent sessions, hands on networking cafes, and our acclaimed Poster Session. This year we are adding 2 new opportunities in addition to the concurrent paper session, poster poster presentation and networking café. There is now an option of submitting for a “how to” workshop or an interactive roundtable dialogue.
