Places to think together

Annual and mid-year meetings, programmes and the questions that connect them.

The Association normally holds an annual conference with its annual general meeting, as well as a mid-year meeting. The programmes bring together research across disciplines and career stages.

The 2026 annual meeting took place at Acadia University on 10–12 June. The published meetings page does not announce the next mid-year meeting. Consult the current Association announcement before planning travel.

Explore past programmes for questions, methods and research connections. Programme listing is evidence of a scheduled presentation, not proof that a paper was delivered or that a finding was peer-reviewed.

Put it into practice

Use the presentation planner before your next meeting. The 2026 programme is available for reading; its conference and accommodation arrangements relate to June 2026, not a future booking.
