📍 Hamilton Convention Center, 1 Summers Lane, Hamilton, ON L8P 4Y2, Canada

The NextGreatBigIdeas Summit is an annual, national networking event that brings together the entire Canadian life sciences community. Independently organized and non-profit, it proudly supports MacKids, the philanthropic arm of the Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation, dedicated to funding the McMaster Children's Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario.

Our mission: Bring together leaders, innovators, and changemakers to celebrate and connect Canada’s life sciences community.

Because innovation goes hand in hand with solidarity: all profits, after expenses, will be donated to MacKids to directly support care, research, and quality of life for children.
