Breakfast: Innovative Robotics with QEII Foundation

Halifax Convention Centre 1650 Argyle St, Halifax

Halifax is at the forefront of robot-assisted surgery. Thanks to generous donations to the QEII Foundation, the QEII Health Sciences Centre is now home to four surgical robots, transforming surgical care on a national stage. Join us for an interactive panel discussion to discover the technological innovations that are happening right here in Halifax. Hear from the medical experts who perform these life-changing robotic surgeries and who are leading its cutting-edge research. No longer an ideal confined to science fiction, robot-assisted surgery is becoming a treatment option for more medical conditions than ever before — from spinal care to joint replacements — and Halifax is paving the way. Learn how robotics are revolutionizing healthcare and meet the donors and business leaders, like you, who’ve made robot-assisted surgery a reality for our communities.
