Vital Data Mini-Con 2026
Break the Silos. Connect the Dots.
A Half-Day Symposium on Data & AI in Health
Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion | Victoria, BC
1 pm - 4 pm | June 29, 2026
Health data has never been more important, but it’s also more fragmented than ever. Across the country, valuable data is often locked away in separate systems that don’t communicate effectively, if at all. At the same time, there is growing pressure to actually make use of this data—especially with the rapid development of new AI tools.
Join Victoria Data Society as we bring four industry experts together to discuss how we move from “fragmented” to “functional”. Whether you're a data scientist, a healthcare professional, or a student, Vital Data Mini-Con is here to give you a 360-degree view of the current landscape.
