Women's Health Symposium
As a community hub dedicated to supporting families across Alberta, YEG Parents is committed to addressing the health and wellness needs of those who often hold our households together: Women.
Women’s health is a lifelong journey that requires specialized knowledge, yet critical topics like reproductive health, hormonal transitions, and preventative care are often underfunded or misunderstood.

Expert-led sessions
Interactive exhibitor
Women’s health resources
Join YEG Parents Magazine in collaboration with EndoDiagnosis for the inaugural Women’s Health Symposium on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in Edmonton. This empowering community event brings together leading voices in gynecology, fertility awareness, adolescent health, and FemTech innovation for a day of meaningful conversation and education.
Hear from experts including Dr. Sam Azer, alongside allied health professionals and technology innovators who are reshaping how women experience and access care. Attendees will enjoy informative keynote sessions, engaging discussions, and curated exhibitor booths featuring supportive health resources and emerging women’s health technologies.
This public-facing event is designed for women, parents, caregivers, and families not just healthcare professionals. Whether you attend for one session or stay for the full program, you’ll leave feeling informed, empowered, and connected. Bring a friend, your daughter, your sister, or your mother this conversation is for all of us.
This event will highlight emerging research and clinical insights to support women and girls in better understanding and navigating endometriosis, fertility, perimenopause, and menopause. Our goal is to provide clear, evidence-informed education while creating a welcoming environment for learning, dialogue, and meaningful connection.
