National Conference

The Most Anticipated Event of the Year

CIP’s annual national conference combines professional planning education and research, experiential workshops, networking, career development, and fun over three days.

  • Over 1000 delegates participating in-person and online 
  • Special programming for new attendees and students
  • Eligible for Continuous Professional Learning (CPL) units for all sessions attended

Upcoming Conference

CIP and the Ontario Professional Planners Institute (OPPI) will host “ACTION” in Toronto, Ontario.

The Inclusion Fund is now offering several free in-person and online registrations to selected eligible applicants for ACTION 2025. Thank you to our partner, Urban Strategies Inc., for supporting this initiative.

Past Conferences

Previous events have taken place across the country. Our past themes have reflected big ideas and timely conversations that affect planners and the communities they live and work in.

Inclusion Fund

In support of our Strategic Plan priority of More Equitable Planning, Together, CIP has established a fund to help include more individuals who would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend a CIP national conference. 

In 2023, we supported 15 individuals (members and non-members). Applications for the 2024 program are now closed.
