Registration is now open for Summit 2025: Convergence and Emergence! Join us in Montreal from November 20–22 for CBRC’s annual Summit — Canada’s leading knowledge exchange and capacity-building conference focused on 2S/LGBTQIA+ health research, programming, and advocacy. Early-bird rates are available until October 10, 2025.
About Summit
The Summit is CBRC’s annual national knowledge exchange and capacity building conference on the health of 2S/LGBTQIA+ people. Since 2005, the Summit has brought together researchers, service providers, community members, and organizations from across Canada to share the latest in queer and trans health research, programming, services, and advocacy. While the Summit has historically focused on addressing the impacts of HIV and sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI) on gay, bisexual, trans, Two-Spirit, and queer (GBT2Q) people, in recent years the conference has made intentional shifts to become a more inclusive space to engage with 2S/LGBTQIA+ community-based research, health promotion, and advocacy.
Summit 2025
Two-Spirit Symposium: November 18 & 19, 2025
Summit 2025: November 20 – 22, 2025
Le Centre Sheraton Montreal
Montreal, QC
For Summit 2025, we’re moving to Montréal/Tiohtià:ke—a first after 20 successful years in Vancouver/Coast Salish Territory. For two decades, we’ve been gathering in Vancouver for the Summit to share insights, to build connections, and to mobilize knowledge and evidence. But now, it’s crucial that we expand our horizons as we work to meet the challenges of this moment and beyond.
This year, we’re thrilled to be hosting the Summit at a much larger venue (Le Centre Sheraton Montreal) over three days instead of the usual two (November 20-22, following the Two-Spirit Symposium on November 18-19). This additional capacity means new conference programming, including space for ancillary events and an exhibition hall (for conference posters as well as rentable tables or booths for community organizations, corporate sponsors, and other partners).
