2010 Conference Registration
The CPSA conference is held within the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences (Congress). The dates of the Congress are May 28 - June 4, 2010. The CPSA conference dates are June 1-3, 2010. The Congress registration guide will be mailed in early January to CPSA members, by the Congress secretariat. Delegates are able to register by mail, fax and on-line via the Congress website at www.congress2010.ca until 15 May 2010.  After 15 May 2010, only on-site registration will be available. The early registration date is 31 March 2010.  CPSA is association #48 within the Congress.

All participants must register for the Congress AND the CPSA conference. Anyone who does not causes a loss of revenue for the CPSA and is responsible for any increase in Congress registration fees. By not paying, participants only serve to withhold much needed support for the CPSA and penalize their paying colleagues with higher fees.

Accommodation
Information is available on the Congress website at www.congress2010.ca.
