RAINBOW HEALTH ONTARIO 2018 CONFERENCE RAINBOWHEALTHONTARIO.CA/CONFERENCE

“

Canada’s largest LGBTQ Health Conference

And with it, unique and varied opportunities for exposure. The biennial Rainbow Health Ontario (RHO) conference—Canada’s largest on LGBTQ health—brings together agents of change in LGBTQ health and wellness to advance the health outcomes of LGBTQ Ontarians. The 2018 RHO conference will be held in Sudbury, Ontario, and will focus on building partnerships in health and social services to promote the health of Ontario’s diverse LGBTQ populations, including those in northern and rural areas.

With an expected 325 key influencers and decision-makers attending the event itself, and 6 months of robust, multi-platform conference promotion ahead, the conference offers an exceptional opportunity for you to boost your visibility within LGBTQ communities and the healthcare sector through sponsorship, exhibiting or advertising.

Of our 2016 conference attendees, approximately: one-third were service providers, including physicians, specialists, nurses, counsellors and social workers; 10% had management-level or above decision-making powers in their respective

organizations; 5% were government representatives; 20% were community developers, educators or health promoters; 10% identified as community members or activists; and 20% had academic influence as researchers or professors. Our conference marketing and promotional materials will be distributed to over 2500 targeted organizations, as well as community members in the health and social service sectors within Ontario and across Canada. The event itself includes four pre-conference Learning Institutes (training), three high-profile keynote plenaries, and over 30 carefully-selected sessions that feature distinguished experts in the field.

Supporting this ground-breaking conference with a Canada-wide reach is your chance to build name recognition, enhance trust in your organization, and reach out to leaders in the sector, service providers and LGBTQ community members.

10% of conference attendees had management-level or above decision-making powers in their respective organizations.
