Vancouver is one of the world’s most spectacular cities, sitting at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, and nestled in and around the slopes of the towering Coast Mountain Range. We look forward to welcoming you to Vancouver to enjoy the Conference, as well as the city’s natural beauty, cosmopolitan flair and unique mix of cultures.

On behalf of the International Pediatric Association (IPA) with its 168 member organizations, we will be pleased to welcome you to the 28th International Pediatric Association Congress to be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, August 17-22, 2016. The conference theme of “Community, Diversity, Vitality” reflects both the meeting location and the content of the scientific program.

Vancouver is a vibrant city on the west coast of Canada with potential pre- and post-conference activities including both the ocean and the mountains. Further information on the social aspects of this Congress will be available later.

We invite you to be part of this process to improve the health and well-being of children and youth throughout the world and to utilize this opportunity to establish or further effective working relationships at the International Pediatric Association Congress in Vancouver, August 17-22, 2016.
