Pre-Convention Workshops

CPA2026 will feature an amazing line up of plenary keynote addresses, many dynamic section featured addresses and live presentations, numerous opportunities for networking and engagement with delegates and exhibitors, and a wealth of opportunities for knowledge sharing and skills development (https://convention.cpa.ca/scientific-program/).

The CPA’s Pre-Convention PD Workshops (PCPDW) will take place on June 3, 2026.

Use the Convention Registration link above to register for both the Convention and Pre-Conference Professional Development Workshops in the same transaction. Registration for both the Pre-Convention and CPA Convention will open early 2026.

Membership Renewal Note: Due to the time and documentation requirements needed to fully assess one’s eligibility for membership, membership applications and fee waivers will not be processed on site at the convention registration desk, or during the convention.
