Get excited! Participate – Registration is free
The Program Committee for the 2020 CAP Congress has developed a reduced program from the originally planned in-person Congress that was cancelled due to COVID-19. An exciting series of presentations, talks, and meetings will be offered during the week of 2020 June 8-12, followed later by the CAP Best Oral Presentation final on 2020 June 25th and winner announcement on July 9th, CINP Townhall meetings on June 22-23, and the IPP Townhall meetings on July 15-16 and 21. In an effort to ensure that all presentations and meetings are accessible at reasonable times across Canada, they are all being offered between 10h00 and 17h00 EST.
The CAP invites you to join our Virtual Congress 2020
The week will begin with the traditional NSERC community update on June 8 from 11h15-11h50 EST. During the remainder of the week, there will be a series of technical sessions/talks, student presentation competition sessions, and annual business meetings offered by the CAP divisions and its partners.
In support of the academic Strike for Black Lives organized by our physics colleagues in the US (https://www.particlesforjustice.org), the CAP ceased all regular activities and cancelled CAP virtual Congress sessions on June 10.
Almost 500 physics students, staff, researchers and faculty members from all across Canada participated in the special session on June 10 at 1h30PM EDT hosted by the CAP EDI Committee, focused on taking action to improve the experiences of Black students and researchers in physics.

The general outline of our virtual conference is in the program outline. The online timetable, with the session details as they are currently available, can be found at https://indico.cern.ch/e/CAP2020-Virtual.
