These annual meetings help to foster an environment in which new research can be developed. Our members come from a variety of disciplines and do not often have the opportunity to meet. Gathering together for this annual conference allows participants to exchange ideas, and consider new approaches to expanding knowledge in the field of aging. Each year CAG extends an open invitation to its members and others to submit a paper for presentation at its Annual Scientific and Educational Meeting. Those attending the Annual Conference have the opportunity to listen to and discuss research papers presented by both Canadian and international experts.
Participants can also take part in workshops, symposia, posters and round table sessions.
The many personal contacts made at these conferences further encourage the development of knowledge and increase our ability to respond to the aging process in a changing socio-cultural environment. There are also many promotional and sponsorship opportunities available through the conference. The 2000 conference will be held in Edmonton, Alberta. For further information, or to register for the Annual Scientific and Educational Meeting, please contact the Conference Secretariat at the CAG office.
