Graduate Conference
The OCAD U Graduate Conference serves as a platform for graduate students to showcase their innovative research from 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 Graduate Studies staff.
