CRKN rotates the location of its annual conference each fall to ensure maximum participation. The timing is generally set in consultation with the CRKN Board chair, with consideration for other international, national and regional library conferences.
Past AGMs have been held in Ottawa (2019, 2015), Vancouver (2018), Montreal (2017, 2008), Halifax (2016, 2012, 2005), Calgary (2014), Toronto (2013, 2007, 2004), Gatineau (2011), Winnipeg (2010), and Edmonton (2006). The 2009 AGM, 2020 Conference, and 2021 Conference were held virtually online.
