The CANCOM-2026 Welcome Reception will be held in the Wong-Trainor Welcome Centre of the Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre. The evening event gives attendees a chance to reconnect, meet new colleagues, and ease into the conference in an informal setting. Light refreshments will be served, and the space will feature displays highlighting the scientific program and participating organizations. The venue incorporates West Coast architectural elements: cedar, stone, steel, and natural light – and serves as the university’s central reception point during the day.
