Canadian Cartographic Association
Conference Program
The Canadian Cartographic Association (CCA) is excited to publish a draft program for its 50th annual conference and general meeting, CCA2025, May 21-22, to be held jointly with the 75th Annual Meeting of the Canadian Association of Geographers (CAG), from May 20th to 23rd, 2025 at Carleton University in Ottawa.
The CCA program has been set up, as much as possible, as a single track within the larger CAG conference. The CCA session track includes a wide variety of topics and sessions scheduled into a single location. Some topics that you might find interesting are also occurring on other tracks within the conference. We just couldn’t fit everything on the single track. This should be a great opportunity for conversations between associations.
Please remember: your CCA conference registration also includes access to all CAG sessions May 21-22. If you are interested in extending your participation at the conference, you can buy a CCA registration and a CAG top-up ticket for the May 23 sessions. See our registration page (external site) for details.
- A PDF of the CCA track sessions is included below and available for download.
- The full CAG/CCA 2025 conference program is available here!
