e-Health 2026 Call for Program Committee
e-Health26 Conference and Tradeshow is accepting applications for the Program Committee. Are you interested in volunteering? Your participation is extremely important to the success of the conference in Halifax!
Key Responsibilities:
The purpose of the Program Committee for the e-Health26 Conference and Tradeshow is two-fold. The priority for the Committee is to identify and decide upon the keynote and plenary conference speakers.

The members of the Program Committee are responsible for the following tasks:
Plenary/Keynote:
- Discuss and identify session themes/topics (in confidence)
- Identify potential plenary speaker(s); agree upon whom to invite. [Plenary speaker/panel suggestions will be sent to the HOST committee for final approval before invitations are sent out.]
- Where there is a previous connection/relationship, connect the potential speakers/panellists with the Conference Director, who will make the official invitation.
- Program Committee members are not responsible for contracting or negotiating contractual and/or financial agreements with conference speakers.
Concurrent Sessions:
- e-Health Staff and the Abstract Committee will group abstracts into concurrent session timeslots, noting cohesive themes, topics, and presentation style (oral/e-poster/panel)
- The Program Committee will discuss and validate the final layout/order of the concurrent session groupings.
Time Commitment:
- The Program Committee will meet 4 – 5 times beginning in October until the overall conference program is complete (February 2026)
- The meetings to validate the final layout/order of the program will take place in January 2026
- Meetings will take place over Zoom and will be up to one hour in length
- Participation in the meetings and email voting are mandatory
