PATIENTS INCLUDED DESIGNATION:

CQuIPS is proud to announce that we are striving to  be a Patients Included designated conference. This designation reflects our commitment to meaningfully integrate patients and families into every stage of the event, from planning and theme development, to speaker selection and session design. Patients partners are not only welcomed as participants, but many are actively supported through full scholarships that cover registration and travel expenses. The organizing team also aims to reduce barriers to participation and has taken steps to meet the accessibility needs of all attendees. 

Our 2025 conference was successfully designated and we are looking forward to continuing on this path of inclusivity. Read more about what CQuIPS has done to earn this recognition here.
