CGNA2027: Future Ready Gerontology – Innovation at Hart brings nurse-led innovation to the heart of Toronto: historic Hart House at the University of Toronto, a place whose long tradition of dialogue, learning, creativity, and civic engagement makes it a fitting backdrop for ideas that can travel across communities, systems, and borders.
The conference will explore how new methods, models, processes, and technologies can improve care, efficiency, and outcomes for older people across clinical, community, education, research, and policy settings. Grounded in nurses' clinical expertise, critical thinking, and leadership, sessions will showcase practical solutions and partnerships that address unmet needs, reduce operational barriers, and strengthen the experiences of older people and those who care for them.
Participants will hear from leaders advancing nurse-designed approaches across a range of settings — from community-based models of care and grassroots partnerships to responsible uses of AI and next-generation education through simulation and new learning models. Together, we will focus on what it takes to make gerontological nursing future ready, scalable, and impactful.
