The 2017 CAM conference was held from August 17-19 in Washington, DC, USA. The APS was responsible for organizing this conference. The CAP’s representative on the organizing committee is the CAP’s Councillor representing graduate student members, Christopher Pugh from the University of Waterloo (cpugh@uwaterloo.ca).
It was wonderful opportunity for students to present their research to other students and to build relationships with researchers around North America.

As part of the abstract submission process, a letter of support from the student’s supervisor stating that they support the student’s presentation at this conference as well as agree to help cover the costs of the student’s attendance is required.
