Second Annual CPA Satellite Conference

2026 Satellite Event

Every year, the CPA hosts an Annual Convention that brings together more than 1,200 members from across Canada to share and generate new ideas, network, and advance psychological science, practice, and education. Knowledge sharing and collaboration are essential to the evolution of psychology in Canada, and by creating more spaces for these conversations, we can continue to drive meaningful progress in the field.

As thought leaders in Canadian psychology, we recognize the value of diving more deeply into a single, pressing topic. This is a format that allows for richer engagement, deeper conversations, and stronger professional connection. That’s why we are proud to continue our Annual CPA Satellite Conference—a yearly event focused on one issue that is important to our members. Each year, we determine the topic of the conference based on what we and our membership feel is significant to psychology and deserving of in-depth and targeted discussion. These two-day events bring together psychologists and students from across Canada to exchange ideas and insights, learning from the country’s leading psychology experts.

This year, our Satellite Conference will focus on Women’s Mental Health. Psychology touches so many aspects of women’s lives: menopause and work, gender-based violence, sex and sexuality, mental health across the gender/sex spectrum, intersectional mental health, motherhood, and so much more. What can psychology tell us about these important issues and what work still needs to be done?

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in critical discussions on women’s mental health. Join us in Ottawa for two days of insight, learning, and networking.

*Note: Submissions will be received by invite-only.
