Meetings & Events

Dear CPAS members, colleagues, and friends,

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee and the Department of Anesthesiology at CHU Sainte-Justine, it is my great pleasure to invite you to Montreal for the Canadian Pediatric Anesthesia Society (CPAS) 2026 Scientific Meeting, taking place September 25–27, 2026.

We’ve built this meeting around the reality of what we do daily. Expect practical, case-based discussions, focused panels, and hands-on workshops that you can bring straight back to your OR the following week. We’re bringing together outstanding Canadian and international colleagues but keeping the tone grounded and clinically relevant.

The program will cover areas we all grapple with, including neonatal emergencies, difficult airways, pediatric neuroanesthesia, brain health, and evolving approaches to pain. We’ll also take a step back and look at where things are going, including AI, digital tools, and simulation, and what that really means for our practice.

Each full registration includes two workshops. You’ll be able to choose between Pediatric POCUS, Pediatric Hypnosis, and Innovative Pediatric Blocks, all designed to be practical and interactive.

The scientific sessions will take place at the Centre Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM). Our conference hotel, the Hyatt Centric Montréal, is just a short walk away in Old Montreal, close to great restaurants, the waterfront, and everything that makes the city special.

September is one of the best times to be in Montreal. The weather is perfect, the city is lively, and it’s an easy place to enjoy between sessions. We’re also planning a social program that gives you time to actually connect, catch up with colleagues, and meet new people in a relaxed setting.

Please join us! It’s a great chance to reconnect, exchange ideas, and reflect on how we can keep improving the care we provide to children.

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN HERE.

Looking forward to seeing you in Montreal.

Warm regards,

Dr. Papu Nath
