Planning for Cannexus, Canada's Career Development Conference, in January 2024, is now underway. Cannexus24 will be a hybrid conference, both in-person in Ottawa and virtual. The dates for the conference are January 29-31, 2024.
CERIC invites individuals or organizations with an interest in presenting at Cannexus24 to submit a brief session outline for consideration using the Proposal Form and encourages you to inform colleagues or students of this opportunity.
Submitting a proposal is not a commitment to present at the conference. If you submit a proposal and you are selected to present, you will receive a formal email invitation by August with further details on session type, duration and whether in-person or virtual – and at that time you will be given a deadline to accept or decline the invitation.
Submission Deadline
Your submission must be received no later than 11:59 pm ET, Friday, June 2, 2023 to be considered for inclusion in the Cannexus24 conference program. Any late proposals will be automatically added to a wait-list for consideration if spots become available.
