Vancouver, British Columbia was the host city of the 2018 Dietitians of Canada Annual Conference. Through the support of Dietitians of Canada (DC) and Canadian Foundation for Dietetic Research (CFDR), the 2018 Research Showcase was an informative exchange of research and experience-sharing efforts. The submissions for this year's CFDR event represented the diversity of dietetic research conducted within Canada. The 2018 Research Showcase highlighted the Early Bird abstracts in 2 formats; some as 10 minutes oral sessions and others as ePosters with a short oral component. The Late Breaking abstracts were displayed as ePosters. This research event would not be possible without the commitment and dedication of many people. On behalf of DC and CFDR, we would like to extend a special thank you to members of our Early Bird abstract review committee: Susan Campisi (University of Toronto); Elaine Cawadias (Retired); Andrea Glenn (St. Francis Xavier University); Mahsa Jessri (University of Ottawa); Jessica Lieffers (University of Saskatchewan). Members of the Late Breaking abstract review committee included: Laurie Drozdowski (University of Alberta); Laura Forbes (Co-chair)(University of Guelph); Joann Herridge (Hospital for Sick Children); Grace Lee (Toronto General Hospital); Lee Rysdale (Northern Ontario School of Medicine); Jessica Wegener (Ryerson University); Sarah Woodruff Atkinson (University of Windsor). We would also like to thank all of our moderators, Pierrette Buklis (CFDR Board), Marcia Cooper (Health Canada), Jenny Gusba (CFDR Board), Brenda Hartman (Brescia College), Paula Brauer (University of Guelph), Dawna Royall (DC), and MaryAnne Smith (DC), who kept our research presentation sessions on time during the conference. Finally, a special thank you to France Bertrand and Michelle Naraine at CFDR for their assistance and support throughout the review process. We enjoyed interacting with many of you at the oral research presentations as we highlighted the research findings from our dietetic colleagues across our country!
