“KT” = knowledge transfer, right to your Facebook and Twitter Live feeds!

Arthritis Consumer Experts (ACE) is excited to host its inaugural ABN #Greek2Street Facebook and Twitter Live event at this year’s KT Canada Scientific Meeting being held in Vancouver, BC.



Knowledge Translation (KT) is the umbrella term for all of the activities involved in moving research from the laboratory, research journal, and the academic conference into the minds of organizations and people who can put it to practical use in the clinical office to improve health outcomes.

Cheryl Koehn explains: “#Greek2Street is the magic behind good Knowledge Translation: getting language and ideas that sound like “Greek” out to the “street” so people can put scientific knowledge into action in our everyday lives.”

Using the latest social media technology, consumer-patient “reporters” will help us de-mystify the world of KT through live interviews with conference presenters and attendees that will be broadcast to the public through Facebook and Twitter. Arthritis Consumer Experts has successfully run a similar event called #CRArthritis at the Canadian Rheumatology Association and Arthritis Health Professions Annual Meetings.

Join the KT conversation online at the Arthritis Broadcast Network (ABN) Facebook page or Twitter (@ArthritisNetwrk) feed using #Greek2Street. Interviews will take place from Thursday, June 7th until Friday, June 8th. Like, share and retweet the live interviews, send us your comments or questions through Facebook and Twitter during the interviews. A reminder that the interviews remain on the ABN Facebook Page and will be made available on the ABN YouTube channel under “KT Canada: ABN #Greek2Street Facebook and Twitter Live 2018“.

Please note the KT Canada Scientific Meeting is presented in English.
