Join the CPA and approx. 1,500 of your colleagues at Canada's largest gathering dedicated to those involved in the science, practice and education of psychology in Canada - The CPA National Convention and the CPA Marketplace trade show.

We're gathering June 9-11 in beautiful Victoria, BC. Boasting the mildest climate in Canada, it is green and beautiful year-round, Victoria is a unique blend of old world charm and new world experiences where visitors are offered an escape from the hurried world of the mainland, that beams with ambiance. In Victoria, heritage architecture, colourful gardens and traditions like afternoon tea, mix seamlessly with outdoor adventure, authentic culinary experiences and eviable cocktail and craft beer scenes. 

This year's CPA National Convention is one you won't want to miss. Not only will you get to hear from a who’s-who list of Keynote and Featured Speakers, but you’ll also have the unmatched opportunity to choose from 10 Pre-Convention Workshops, 32 Workshops, 92 Symposia, 660 Posters (over 6 sessions), 20 Digital Posters, and 33 CPA Section Annual Meetings. This is your unique opportunity to:

• LEARN more about best practices
• GROW your standing within the profession by increasing your knowledge, profile and visibility
• SHARE innovation happening in your community
• NETWORK with peers and subject matter experts from coast to coast to coast.
• CONNECT with your national association and gain new insight into your profession’s challenges and needs

At times it may feel like a particular situation you are facing may be unique, but the truth is that many others across Canada face similar or identical situations and/or challenges. Don’t miss this chance to take advantage of numerous opportunities to meet, learn from, and exchange views with others involved in the science, practice and education of psychology from across the country.
