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.

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.
