N1 - Funding Information: Over a decade ago, at the 2007 annual Practice-based Research Network (PBRN) meeting, Melinda M. Davis and Zsolt Nagykaldi first met while participating on a panel on responsibilities and training for practice facilitators (PFs). The profession of practice facilitation has grown substantially since, with support from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), emergence of multiple practice facilitator training programs, and an increasing interest in translating evidence into practice through research and practice improvement initiatives. In recognition of the needs of the emerging professional community of PFs and the opportunity to advance the science and best practices of practice facilitation, members of the Coordinated Coalition of Networks (CoCoNet2), an AHRQ Center for Primary Care Practice-Based Research and Learning, secured grant funding with the support of the North American Primary Care Research Group (NAP-CRG) to host the first International Conference on Practice Facilitation (ICPF) on November 29-30, 2017 in Louisville, KY. ICPF 2017 attracted over 120 attendees, including active PFs, PF managers, and other PF stakeholders. Attendees represented 68 organizations across 37 states and provinces with close to 10% Canadian participants. The ICPF 2017 agenda addressed 4 themes: (1) Building a learning community, (2) Enhancing sustainability and management of practice facilitation programs, (3) Improving training and professional development, and (4) Building the science and best practices. Conference co-chairs Drs Davis and Nagykaldi welcomed participants and led them through plenaries, innovative session formats (eg, speed think-tanks, professional town hall), and networking opportunities intended to foster meaningful interaction and learning.
