The Canadian Association on Gerontology (CAG) is pleased to announce a Call for Abstracts for CAG2026, our 55th Annual Scientific and Educational Meeting. The meeting will be held October 15-17, 2026, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.  

CAG2026 is your opportunity to share your research and other work in the field of aging with your national and international colleagues from a diverse spectrum of disciplines. Abstracts are welcomed from all disciplines and all interests in aging, including research, practice, policy and related areas. International submissions are encouraged.

The theme of the 2026 annual meeting is “Crossing Currents: Navigating Aging through Collaboration and Coordinated Action.” Individuals are encouraged to submit abstracts which address this theme, although all submissions will be given equal consideration. Abstracts may be submitted for oral, poster, symposium and workshop presentations.  All forms of presentation are considered of equal professional status.
