International Population Data Linkage Conference

In alternate years, the IPDLN leads an international conference. In 2018, the IPDLN Conference will be held at the beautiful Banff Centre, located in Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada, a UNESCO world heritage site in the heart of the iconic Rocky Mountains. With breathtaking scenery at every turn, the summer and fall months boast spectacular walking, hiking and biking trails, with the famous hot springs available to enjoy all year round.

The overall conference themes will build on previous work done by IPDLN as well as relevant emerging health data linkage areas including Data and Linkage Quality, Data Linkage Methodology, Pan-jurisdictional and Cross-sectoral Data Linkage, Emerging Data Types, Privacy, Regulation and Governance, Data Analytics, and Data Linkage for Policy Development.
