Registration

We think that all Congress participants — speakers and attendees — should be able to enjoy the entire Congress. That’s why the registration fee includes all sessions, all meals, and all networking opportunities.

To facilitate wider participation in our events, we keep our all-in registration rates remarkably affordable.

Group rates are available when 5 or more from the same organization register at the same time. Gorup discounts cannot be combined with Super Saver, Early Bird, or othe discount or offer. Email us for details. 

Student rates are available for people currently enrolled and attending a post-secondary institution. Email us for details about the discounted student rate. We may require proof of student status. 

Media are welcome to attend all sessions of the Conference following accreditation. Complete and submit the Media Accreditation Application before 10 March 2026.

Details to Remember

Venue. The University of Ottawa. Building and room location will be provided to registered attendees.

Dress Code. Business attire is suitable for all conference sessions and receptions. Conference Center room temperatures can be on the cooler side, so we recommend dressing with this in mind.

Scent Free Zone. The Congress venue at the University of Ottawa is a ‘scent free zone’. The chemicals used in scented products can cause allergic reactions, migraine headaches, and can aggravate other health problems, particularly for those with fragrance sensitivities, asthma, allergies, and other medical conditions. Please use unscented personal care products and avoid wearing perfume, cologne, aftershave, scented hand lotion, and other fragranced products.

Refunds and Cancellations. Congress passes are non-refundable. Registered attendees may request a registration transfer to another person (i.e., colleague, client, or guest) before March 1, 2026. If transferring the registration to another person for the 2026 Congress is not possible, it can be applied toward your attendance at the next Congress. Members who transfer their registration to a non-PACC member will be charged the difference in registration rate applicable at the time of transfer. If the registration transfer is from a non-member to a PACC member, the non-PACC member will receive a credit for the difference in registration rate applicable at the time of transfer, less a $25 administration fee. 

Dietary Restrictions. Note any dietary restrictions on the registration form during checkout, or contact us at least 30 days before the start of the event. Our team will do their best to accommodate these requests.

Media may be present at PACC events.

Photography and Videography. Registering or attending this conference constitutes an agreement by the attendee to PACC using and distributing (both now and in the future) the person’s image or voice in photographs, videos, electronic video and/or audio reproduction, without notice or compensation. If you are opposed to being photographed, please contact us by March 1, 2026 and also mention it to PACC staff on site as soon as you arrive at the event venue.
