The largest showcase of academic books in Canada
What if you could connect with leading community partners, discover outstanding literary works, and network with the best and brightest scholarly minds from across the country and beyond at one remarkable event? It’s all possible at the Congress Expo, a highlight of the 92nd annual Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences! Join over 8,000 attendees and visit over 50 exhibitor booths at York University.
Expo will be housed in Vari Hall, part of the Congress Hub. The Congress Hub will be a centre of activity, with a dynamic event space hosting thought-provoking discussions, career presentations, book launches and signings. Visit the Calendar of Events (coming soon) for more details.
