Please consider attending the Canadian Knowledge Mobilization Forum 2012 in Ottawa, June 19-20.
Knowledge Mobilization has seen a significant growth over the past decade. There are more organizations engaged in active knowledge mobilization efforts. There are more people with knowledge mobilization as their profession. Research efforts to understand and optimize knowledge mobilization practice have accelerated and are attracting more resources.
It is now time to come together to share both the science and art of knowledge mobilization. The Canadian Knowledge Mobilization Forum will provide access to some of the best minds and most creative practitioners in the field. Come to share what you know so we can create together.
- Keynote speakers will be: Inspirational, Master Networkers, Visionary, and Action Oriented.
- The themes to be addressed include practice in: Education, Health, Public Policy, and Community Partnerships.
- Learn from the latest research findings.
- Discover new products and applications for knowledge mobilization.
- Enhance your own leadership and management abilities by hearing what your colleagues are doing.

The goal is to present how knowledge mobilization is actually being developed and applied – new reports, new decision aids, new software, new mobile applications – anything that helps move what we know into action.
