CAMA Conference

  2026 CAMA CONFERENCE AND ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 

WHISTLER, BRITISH COLUMBIA

 

 We are pleased to announce that CAMA’s 52nd Annual Conference and Annual General Meeting will be held in beautiful Whistler, British Columbia, from Monday, May 25 to Wednesday, May 27, 2026, at the Whistler Convention Centre.   Our two host hotels for the event are the Westin Whistler Resort and the Hilton Whistler Resort.  Hotel room blocks will open for booking on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at 12:00 noon EST.

The Conference will kick off on Monday morning with a Golf Tournament and other pre-conference activities. The official program will conclude on Wednesday evening with the President’s Dinner.  Delegates typically arrive on Sunday and depart on Thursday.

To get an idea of what to expect, we invite you to view the Program Overview from the 2025 Conference in Mont-Tremblant.  It offers a snapshot of the type of sessions, keynote speakers, and networking opportunities that make the CAMA Conference a must-attend event for municipal administrators.

Please note that the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Conference will take place the week following CAMA, from June 4-7, 2026 in Edmonton, Alberta.   

 

ACCOMMODATIONS - HOST HOTELS

Special Conference rates have been negotiated at two host hotels, the Westin Whistler Resort & Spa and the Hilton Whistler Resort & Spa, are both located in the heart of Whistler Village, just steps away from the Convention Centre. The Hilton is slightly closer, but both properties are within a two-minute walk, making them equally convenient for your stay.
