Early Bird Registration Now Open for the ACA 2026 Virtual Conference

The Association of Canadian Archivists is pleased to announce that Early Bird registration is now open for the ACA 2026 Virtual Conference, taking place June 8–11, 2026.

This year’s conference, “How Does That Help Me? Making Archival Theory Relevant to Daily Practice,” will explore the connections and disconnections  between archival theory and the everyday realities of archival work. Across four days of virtual programming, participants will hear from archivists working across and beyond the discipline on topics including engagement with systematically marginalized communities, preservation on a budget, and implementation of the Reconciliation Framework released by the Steering Committee on Canada’s Archives.

Register by April 22, 2026 to take advantage of Early Bird pricing. As a special promotion, Early Bird non-member registration includes a complimentary ACA membership valid through December 31, 2026.

A limited number of subsidized tickets are also available to help support access to the conference. Those wishing to request a fee subsidy are invited to complete the Fee Subsidy Form.

We are also inviting support through our sponsor and vendor opportunities, and welcome donations to the Association of Canadian Archivists Foundation (ACAF) to help create additional fee subsidies for attendees.
