Come learn, practice, and have some fun at the 2026 Fall Mammography Positioning Academy in Calgary.
This conference pairs positioning lectures with hands-on workshops, so you walk away with real, usable skills instead of just another lecture you sat through.
We start with the fundamentals, the standardized positioning basics that often get skipped in initial training, but make all the difference in image quality. From there, we move into CC and MLO positioning, additional views, and the body mechanics that keep you working comfortably for years to come.
Then comes the best part. You'll spend about three hours working hands-on with models alongside our instructors, practicing CC and MLO technique and additional views, while also learning how to spot and fix the most common positioning problems before they ever reach a radiologist.
Upon completion of this conference, you'll be able to:
- Position standard screening views to achieve consistent high-quality images
- Perform additional views with confidence and success
- Use proper body ergonomics to protect yourself from future injuries
- Recognize and correct the most common positioning problems
Whether you're new to mammography or have decades of experience, this conference will help you refine your technique, elevate your confidence, and reignite your passion for the profession.

I attended the San Diego positioning academy this past March. As a newer tech, I work hard everyday to better myself. The positioning academy was just what I needed. The amount of time put into making sure we left there feeling more confident was seen through the lecture, and hands on training we received. Louise and the rest of the women went above and beyond. I highly recommend the positioning academy to anyone. It doesn't matter if you've been doing it for 10 years or just starting out. You won't regret it!

I just wanted to say thank you, Louise, and everyone who works so hard to put these conferences together. As a baby mammo (4 months in) this experience meant the world to me. I felt humbled to be surrounded by so many amazing women doing this work and hope to continue to grow and learn with you all in the future.
