CAGP will make healthy food choices for the conference meals based on the menus available at the venue. However, not all food preferences or intolerances can be accommodated by the venue. We ask that delegates also be responsible for managing their own preferences and intolerances.

A full Conference registration fee includes a breakfast, lunch and the Opening Reception on Wednesday; breakfast, lunch and the CAGP Banquet on Thursday; and, breakfast and lunch on Friday.

Those attending one day only will be provided with breakfast and lunch. The banquet on Thursday is not included in the Thursday Only registration. If you have a Thursday Only registration and you wish to attend the Banquet on Thursday night, you would have to purchase a ticket to the Banquet for $150.

We now have a waiting list for the Banquet. Please contact Erin Kuhns if you wish to be added to the waiting list.

If you have a food allergy, be sure you included this information in your registration.  We can take food allergy requests up to one week before the conference.  After that, we cannot guarantee that food allergies will be accommodated. Please note that we cannot guarantee that no cross-contamination has taken place in the special preparation of an allergy-free alternate meal. We ask that delegates also be responsible for managing their own preferences and intolerances.

Full Conference delegates automatically receive entry to the Thursday night banquet. If you are a one-day delegate or coming as a guest, you would have had to purchase a Banquet ticket. At this point, we have a waiting list for Banquet tickest.  Please contact National Office at ekuhns@cagp-acpdp.org as soon as possible to be added to the waiting list.

Prior to the Conference, delegates will receive an email with instructions for accessing the speaker presentations online via the Conference website (password protected). Presentations will also be accessible through the app. We will not be providing printed copies of the presentations. As new presentations are received, they will be posted online so check back for updates. 

An electronic PDF version of the delegate list will be available to download with the speaker presentations. Kindly respect the privacy of our delegates – this list is not to be used for advertising purposes. If your name does not appear on this list, it is because you opted out of the list on your registration form.

Name badges must be worn at all times for access to meeting sessions and meal functions and to ensure the safety of the meeting. This includes wearing your name badge to the banquet.  

CAGP recognizes that some people are sensitive to scented products. Perfumes and strong odours can precipitate severe asthma attacks. Please limit the use of perfumes, scented hair spray, cologne, aftershave and any other highly scented products out of respect for these individuals.

Please note there will be a photographer on-site taking pictures of the conference for use in future CAGP marketing materials.  

We invite you to explore Ottawa Tourism for some great ideas and activities.
