Canadian Statistics Student Conference 2026
Date: Saturday, May 30, 2026
Time: All day
Location: McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario
CANSSI is proud to be a co-sponsor of the Fourteenth Annual Canadian Statistics Student Conference (CSSC 2026).
CSSC 2026 will take place at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, on Saturday, May 30, 2026, the day before the 2026 Statistical Society of Canada Annual Meeting opens in the same location.
The CSSC’s primary mandate is to act as a venue for students to present their research through oral or poster presentations. Although oral presentation slots are limited, the CSSC is committed to offering a poster presentation slot to any interested undergraduate or graduate students to showcase their research in statistics.
Conference Activities
We are pleased to announce that the keynote address will be given by Dr. Grace Y. Yi, Professor and Tier I Canada Research Chair in Data Science at the University of Western Ontario. Dr. Yi was awarded the SSC Gold Medal in 2025. Her research is centred around machine learning with a focus on statistical methods that address modern data challenges related to label noise, missing data, and deep learning.
The conference will also offer a hands-on scientific workshop led by Dr. Kuan Liu; a career panel consisting of professionals in academia, government, and industry; a networking lunch; and social events. More information on these events will be shared at a later date.
The CSSC prides itself on being a venue for anyone to learn about statistics. Whether you are a first-year bachelor’s student or a postdoctoral fellow, we encourage you to attend CSSC 2026 to meet students from other universities and to expand your knowledge of statistics.
