WDCAG 2026 Conference Submission Deadline February 18th!
Graduate and Undergraduate Research Presentations Welcome!
WDCAG 2026 University of British Columbia – Call for Submissions Special Sessions/Workshops AND Oral presentations and Poster presentations!
The 67th annual meeting of the Western Division of the Canadian Association of Geographers will be held at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., March 5 to March 7.
WDCAG is now accepting abstract submissions for oral and poster presentations as well as special sessions and workshops.
The conference theme this year is "Power, Place, Processes", three concepts among a constellation of core ideas that unite us as a discipline. Three concepts that attend to the breadth of research carried out by geographers, whether their work centres on social, natural, or socio-natural processes. We encourage you to engage it how you wish. The theme, as always, is meant to inspire thought and dialogue, to invite reflection on what unites us as geographers, and most certainly not to exclude; whatever your interests in geographical inquiry, your participation is very much welcome!
Call for oral presentations and poster presentations:
Oral presentation and poster presentation abstracts can be submitted using the abstract submission form, which can be found on the "Call for Papers" page of the WDCAG 2026 conference website (https://blogs.ubc.ca/wdcag26a/).
