Early bird registration is now open!

We’re excited to welcome you to the beautiful city of Hamilton for our fully in-person 2026 conference, “Waterfalls of Change – Navigating the New Era and Harnessing the Flow of Intelligence for Sustainable Futures”. Many thanks to our 2026 conference co-chairs, Carmelinda Del Conte from Mohawk College (Local Arrangements Chair) and Joanne Gittens from McMaster University (Program Chair). The conference theme was chosen because Hamilton, Ontario is the “Waterfall Capital of the World”! Hamilton is home to over 100 waterfalls, many of which are nestled within its lush escarpment and urban trails.

Conference registration closes at end of day on Friday, October 16, 2026. After this date, purchase of in-person conference registrations will be limited by conference capacity.

You must purchase/renew your CIRPA membership for 2026-27, if you have not already done so or are not part of a CIRPA member institution, prior to registering for the conference.

Get your tickets by September 11th to secure your discount!
