You are cordially invited to the 17th Annual Retreat of the Quebec Pain Research Network (QPRN), to be held in Bromont from January 24 (1pm) to January 26 (11am). This event is an ideal opportunity for exchange, discussion and networking between QPRN members, their staff and members of the Quebec Network of Junior Pain Investigators (QNJPI), in an enchanting setting and friendly atmosphere. This retreat will be the first since the renewal of the QPRN, and will enable us to continue our progress in the various consortia.
Due to the significant increase in accommodation and catering costs ($65,000 in 2020 vs. $127,000 in 2024, an increase of 195%), a monetary contribution will be requested from participants this year. QPRN members will be asked to pay $200 when they register, and QNJPI members will be asked to pay $100. The cost per person to participate in the full retreat is estimated at over $900 for members and over 500$ for students.
Up to five students per laboratory will be able to register, with a limit of 100. Each student must submit an abstract in the “Submission” section of this page; please note that an existing poster may be used.
As long as space is available, research professionals, clinical experts and patient partners are welcome to attend, and we invite you to share this invitation with your team. Research professionals, clinical experts and patient partners (other than consortium leaders) will be required to pay the costs associated with their participation at the time of registration.
You'll see in the preliminary program that we have an annual retreat with part of Saturday and Sunday afternoon free if you'd like to take advantage of the winter activities offered at Château Bromont. Further information can be found in the “Additional information” tab.
Spouses of QPRN regular and associate members are invited to join us for some of the meals, at the member's expense. This option may be added at the time of registration.
To ensure the success of this event, we ask that you register no later than Friday, October 4, 2024. As space is limited, we encourage you to register early.
* As the event costs are fully covered by the QPRN, we consider your registration as a commitment to participate in the retreat. In the event of partial or complete cancellation of your participation, QPRN reserves the right to invoice you for the cancellation fees charged by the hotel.
