Federation's Congress 2027 takes its next step with SFU

The Federation is thrilled to announce its partnership with Simon Fraser University (SFU) for Congress 2027. The collaboration, set to take place in British Columbia in early summer 2027, will open a new chapter for Congress and the vision that will carry it forward.

Over the last year, informed by our new Strategic Plan, we’ve been reimagining Congress through extensive consultation and focused planning, asking how this national gathering can remain sustainable and strong in a changing postsecondary landscape.

Our partnership with SFU marks an important stride in building a Congress that can meet this moment while carrying forward the long-standing value of this national convening.

We look forward to sharing details on Congress 2027, including the model, programming, and opportunities to participate in the months ahead. Stay tuned.

Scholarly associations can expect more information on the next steps for opting in to hold their conferences at Congress as planning continues over the coming weeks.
