May 9-12, 2023 – Delta Beausejour Moncton

The ACCES conference, held from May 9-12 in Moncton, NB, was a resounding success, leaving us on the ACCES executive committee feeling immensely grateful. The conference brought together professionals from various fields and provided a platform for insightful discussions, engaging presentations, and valuable networking opportunities.

Over the course of the conference...

Let’s step back and reset as the world starts to return to normal. As Healthcare professionals, we have always faced stress - urgent demands, constant change, and a never ending stream of pressures and responsibilities. That was before. Now that stress is off the scale. Reinventing Normal gives us tips to help with strategies for our own well-being through these unusual times.

REBOOT OF OUR MILESTONE EVENT

After 3 years of collectively shifting focus towards the COVID-19 pandemic, we are excited to hit “reboot” and host our profession’s 25th ACCES Educational Seminars and Trade Expo. Mark your calendars and join us at the Delta Beauséjour from May 9th to 12th, 2023, in the city of Moncton, New Brunswick.

 This year marked the 24th anniversary of an annual event that brings together clinical engineering professionals and key healthcare technology players in Atlantic Canada: the Atlantic Canada Clinical Engineering Educational Seminars and Trade Expo. Over 150 delegates, vendors, and speakers were present for this event in Halifax, Nova Scotia, from June 11-14, 2019.

For the 23nd anniversary of its annual Educational Seminars and Trade Expo, the Atlantic Canada Clinical Engineering Society (ACCES) partnered with the Canadian Medical and Biological Engineering Society (CMBES) to create the ACCES23/CMBEC41 Joint conference, which took place in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, on May 8-11^th, 2018. The sheer number of vendors, which exceeded capacity of the conference room, and the overall quality of educational offerings – which included a presentation from a world-renown guest speaker within the clinical/biomedical engineering community: Binseng Wang, ScD – made this event a huge success.

This year marked the 20th anniversary of an annual event that brings together clinical engineering professionals and key healthcare technology players in Atlantic Canada: the ACCES Educational Seminars and Trade Expo. Over 150 delegates, vendors, and presenters were present for this event in beautiful St. John’s, Newfoundland, from May 27-29, 2015.
