We’ve just posted the final agenda for the 2012 workshop in Vancouver. At last year’s event, several people suggested that the CPOP workshop, which until this year had been a full day at the end of the CAPO conference, be integrated into the conference. So that’s what we’ve done this year, in the form of three workshops. Workshop 1 is on the day preceding the conference, with workshops II and III on the first day of the conference. Details are here.

We’ve sorted out the conference registration issue. To attend the first workshop, where we’ll be digging into the nitty gritty of CPOP’s doings, including whether we should include patients in the CPOP mix, people need only send me an email (jan@cpoponline.ca). We want to keep track of numbers. The other two workshops require CAPO registration; one-day conference registration is available to those who won’t be attending the full conference.

Don’t forget to email CAPO if you’re attending the pre-conference morning workshop with Janine-Giese Davis and Marg Fitch. CAPO is at capo@funnel.ca.

Not long after the close of the May conference (notes are here), we began to work closely with stakeholders to shape the website to suit our virtual community of practice. Some of our activities:

• C-CANS: Nicole Culos-Reed from the University of Calgary asked if CPOP could host a proposed initiative called C-CANS, the Canadian Cancer Activity Network. We built a page to help with the CIHR proposal process (here).
