OCAD U Graduate Conference
The OCAD U Graduate Conference serves as a platform for graduate students to showcase their innovative research across a wide range of fields. It is a unique opportunity for students, faculty, professionals, and peers to gather and exchange ideas.
The conference, which will take place in February 2026, is organized by current OCAD U graduate students and supported by the School of Graduate Studies.
This conference is free to attend. Please register via the link at the top of the page.
OCAD University is a creative space where students are invited to discover and explore themselves and their communities. These are spaces where we invite students to discover and explore their identities. As we provide a space to explore self and place, we also learn and recognize the history of this land.
OCAD University is situated on the treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. These are the ancestral territories of many nations, including the Anishinaabeg, the Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat who are the original owners and custodians of the land. Toronto is also home to many urban First Nations, Inuit and Métis.
If you're looking to research and learn more about the land you are on, Whose Land and Native Land are great places to begin.
