About the Conference

Since its founding in 2009, Kids Brain Health Network (KBHN) has played a national leadership role in moving research and innovation into real-world practice for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs) and their families. 

Together, KBHN, Kids Brain Health Foundation and the newest addition, the Kids Brain Health Innovation Fund, form Kids Brain Health (KBH+). KBH+ works to scale and spread evidence-based solutions so that effective innovations reach the youth and families who need them most.

The 2026 KBH+ Conference will bring together researchers, clinicians, educators, community organizations, people with lived experience, innovators, funders, and policymakers to accelerate the adoption, spread, and sustainability of proven solutions across Canada.

With the theme “From Evidence to Everywhere,” the conference is a call to action: How do we ensure that early identification, effective interventions, and family supports are implemented at scale—equitably, sustainably, and in ways that reflect what youth and families need in real life?
