We are looking for presenters for the 2026 BCMEA Conference!

Hello from our 2026 conference coordination team!
Although this October’s conference still feels like it was just a short time ago, we’re already looking ahead to next year and getting things ready for our 2026 BCMEA Conference. We are ready to begin accepting clinic proposals for next conference! To submit a proposal, please use our official clinic proposal form which can be found at the following link:

https://forms.gle/MzprrfaRtBxq9EP7A

Perhaps you have an area of interest you have pursued throughout your career, or a special skill set, or have conducted valuable research, or have an awesome lesson/unit plan that has worked well for your classes in the past. We would love to hear from you!

The deadline to submit proposals will be March 31st, 2026. If you want to present at the 2026 conference, please submit your proposal on or before that date. Clinic categories may fill up with excellent proposals quickly, so the earlier you submit your proposal, the better chance you have at finding a space in our roster.

Shortly after submitting a proposal, you will receive an email from our clinics supervisor to confirm your proposal has been completed. Our team will allow time for proposals to come in before reviewing them and creating a shortlist. A coordinator will then contact you to discuss the results of your proposal application.
​

Thank you for your interest in sharing your knowledge and skills. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].
 Sincerely,

The BCMEA Conference Clinics Team



​​We look forward to seeing you October 22 - 24, 2026 at the Richmond Conference Centre and Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel!
