About the Canadian Quality Congress (CQC)

Highlights

The annual Canadian Quality Congress held annually in different cities across Canada offers a unique opportunity for excellence-minded professionals to learn, share, and celebrate the positive contribution that quality business practices make to organizational performance from Canada, around the world, and across genres to share their knowledge and experience in an intimate setting.

The conference is known amongst attendees and applauded for its highest standard of quality of papers selected for presentations following the rigorous double blind reviews, where each presentation has ample time for everyone to connect and interact in a meaningful way in small number of high caliber professional groups for learning, sharing of knowledge and to take home solutions. The keynote speakers have included world’s top rank quality gurus, renowned international personalities, award-winning authors, medalist researchers, sought-after management consultants, and such.

There are many opportunities to have face-to-face conversations with those in attendance including: informal networking, round table discussions with speakers, think-tank sessions and book autograph signing ceremony with keynote speakers and key members of the business community and paper presenters.

Selected papers from the congress presentations are being published every year after a second time rigorous blind reviews in two well-renowned quality management journals published by Emerald Publishers (UK) Limited; one on general TQM topics and the second on healthcare quality improvement topics.

A Best Paper Award and one Most Commendable Paper Award are presented each year during the conference gala dinner.
