The Canadian Association for Biological Safety/L’Association Canadienne pour la Sécurité Biologique (CABS-ACSB) is happy to present the 2022 Canadian Biosafety Symposium! Join us in person in Edmonton, Alberta for Canada’s annual event for biosafety professionals and personnel involved in biosafety and/or biocontainment facilities.

The 2022 Canadian Biosafety Symposium is Canada’s premier source of new knowledge and opportunity for dialogue across the biosafety community. It is the forum for advancing professional development and for building capacity for new solutions to be applied to the emerging challenges in laboratory biosafety and biosecurity. The Symposium consists of oral presentations and panels related to biosafety and biosecurity and provides networking opportunities for all biosafety professionals.

The Symposium will feature presentations on an array of biosafety topics that may include:

Emergency Management for Labs
Biosafety Culture
Biosafety and Public Health
Emerging and Re-Emerging Diseases
Regulations
Audits and Inspections
Biowaste Management
Airflow, Ventilation, Design and Biosafety
Laboratory Acquired Infections
Lessons Learned

The 2022 CABS-ACSB Annual General Meeting will also take place on September 21, 2022.
