It's not simply about breathing. It's about taking your BEST breath. 

We know for many Canadians living with lung disease, every day brings an awareness of the importance of breath.  As allied health care professionals, educators, physicians and researchers, we are at the forefront of serving these individuals, working hard to optimize management of their lung disease.  Thanks to strong leadership in lung health, the respiratory landscape continues to evolve and move us all a little closer to breathing our very best.

To keep pace with this ever-changing environment, we bring you our national virtual Inspired Breathing Conference. It is a learning experience that is convenient, interactive and evidence-based that will assist you in your professional practice.  On June 6-8, 2023 we will showcase three afternoons of expert presenters from across Canada, as well as participatory intensives that will enhance your skills and knowledge.  Lung Saskatchewan hosts this conference to support you in your important work. We are proud to partner with industry and key opinion leaders to deliver a state-of-the-art learning opportunity to you at your fingertips. The agenda and registration will be available in January.

Join us for the Inspired Breathing Conference. Together we will help Canadians make their next breath - their best breath.

ALL conference attendees will also receive exclusive access to an online resources section, sponsored by Lung Saskatchewan and our Industry Partners.  There will also be opportunities to connect with our Industry Partners during scheduled times.
