Become a local host for CKF22!

The Canadian Knowledge Mobilization Forum (CKF) is a biennial event that provides opportunities for professional development, learning and networking for those interested in knowledge mobilization, translation, and exchange. It brings together a community dedicated to sharing learnings, best practices, tools, and resources. 

CKF22 will be taking place in an online format during the week of June 13-17th 2022. In addition to the national event, we will be hosting regional half-day events in-person across the country. We are seeking partners interested in hosting these events! 

The goals of CKF22 include: 

  • Create a welcoming and engaging event to learn about knowledge mobilization in Canada 
  • Engage professionals across sectors to enable partnerships, collaboration, and networking 
  • Share tools and techniques related to knowledge mobilization in a variety of fields 
  • Facilitate discussions around current and emerging topics in knowledge mobilization 

Event Requirements: 

  • 20-30 person event (or larger – depending on regional needs!) 
  • The event should include a networking component 
  • Presentation, panel, or activity in line with CKF22 goals and theme

  • We suggest a small ticket fee for attendance (~$15-25)
