We are pleased to announce that the 2023 Conference of the Canadian Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres (CAML) will be taking place at Université Laval in Québec City between May 17 and 21.

This year’s conference is being held jointly with the Canadian University Music Society, Canadian Society for Traditional Music, Observatoire interdisciplinaire de création et de recherche en musique (Université Laval), Société québécoise de recherche en musique, Journées internationales de pédagogie instrumentale et vocale, and the Réseau canadien pour la santé et le bien-être des musiciens, as part of the DIALOGUES — International Music Research Conference, the closing event for the 100th anniversary celebration of Université Laval’s Faculty of Music.

Our apologies for the delay in communicating information about the upcoming conference. Our events will be taking place on May 19 and 20, with our AGM on May 20 at noon. Our keynote speaker, Dr. Laurel Forshaw (Challenges, Possibilities, and Responsibilities: Indigenization Efforts within Canadian Higher Music Education), is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. on May 19 as part of the plenary. We are awaiting a formal schedule from the organizing committee. As you may already be aware, professors at Laval University are on an indefinite general strike. During this time, coordination support and communications staff at the university are doing their utmost to move forward in finalizing the planning and maintaining the dates of the conference, however, participating associations are being asked to keep in mind that this could change. Registration to the conference, which was to have opened on March 20, has been postponed for the time being.

We did request at the outset of planning that all of CAML’s presentations as well as our AGM be in hybrid mode and to our knowledge this will be the case.

We will provide updates as they become available. You can also visit the conference site (https://event.fourwaves.com/100dialogues/pages) for this purpose.
