CSM2021 Conference - Save the Date

Posted: June 24, 2020

Save the date for CSM2021 University of Guelph Conference to be held from Sunday, June 20 - Wednesday, June 23, 2021. Meeting space has been put on hold for the CSM2021 at the University of Guelph. Once larger gatherings are approved, we will confirm the dates and advise of any special procedures that the conference will have to abid with. We will be using the same website and refresh the program based on speakers' availability and current scientific findings. CSM2021 Local Organizing Committee would love to host you at the CSM2021, so for now, save the date and more information will be posted and communicated to CSM members as they become available.

CSM2020 Conference - COVID-19

Posted: March 16, 2020

The CSM Executive and the CSM2020 Local Organizing Committee have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic since the end of January. We thank each of you for your support and patience as we navigate these unexplored waters. After careful consideration, we decided to cancel the conference in Guelph. All registrations received to date will be refunded in full. In addition, if you have an accommodation reservation, please cancel it. The Committee is studying the possibility of organizing the annual conference in 2021 in Guelph. More information will follow. Our decision to cancel the 2020 conference is in line with current public health recommendations for social isolation and aims to demonstrate our commitment to lead by example for our members and the community at large. We sincerely thank the members of the Local Organizing Committee for all their hard work to date. They laid the groundwork for a fantastic conference - and we will all benefit from it at our conference in 2021.
