PAINtalks 2018 – Review of the event
La third edition of PAINtalks du Quebec network of student-researchers on pain (RQECD) which took place at the Promotions room of the Séminaire de Québec le October 5, 2018, was a great success!
This initiative bilingual and free is inspired by “TED” style presentations and aims to offer the audience popularized presentations focused on the field of pain.
We were treated to excellent presentations from 5 student-members of our network, a member of the Quebec chronic pain association (AQDC) and 2 guest speakers. This edition was the first to be open to the public.
For this special edition, the RQECD has partnered with Denis Francois Gravel in order to offer you a high quality event. President and co-founder of TEDxQuébec, Denis François is also an experienced coach and trainer in public speaking. All of our presenters have benefited from individual training with Denis François to ensure the excellence of the conferences.
In order to promote an effective transfer of information from the academic community to the population, all the presentations were filmed in high-definition, then made available to Internet users via our website, our Youtube channel and our Facebook page. The videos were filmed and edited by Vimetri, a professional team that also covers the TEDxQuébec event. Plus, a collaboration with the coveted North American Pain School (NAPS) was held in order to offer a place at NAPS 2019 to the winner of the best conference.
Finally, the evening ended with a relaxed cocktail where everyone had the opportunity to meet and interact with the speakers.
