The TforT Conference is committed to financial accessibility. We have been working on ways to ensure that anyone who wants to attend can do so, and our approach has continued to evolve. If you have previously reached out about financial accessibility, or if you require support and none of our existing discounted registration rates are feasible, please contact us (again) at tfort.cache.cfd@utoronto.ca. For those who are able, registration at our standard rates helps make this flexibility possible. However, if your financial circumstances have changed since you registered, please contact us as soon as possible so we can work with you.
Please reach out to Alexandria Suliman (alexandria.suliman@unityhealth.to) for more information on discounted rates for Trainees, Patient and Family Partners and Groups.
