Geneva Centre for Autism will hold its 2026 Symposium on November 12–13, 2026, at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel in the city’s downtown core. Promoted as Canada’s largest autism conference, the two-day event draws more than 1,000 delegates, including clinicians, behaviour analysts, educators, researchers, families and autistic self-advocates.
The 2026 program is built around the idea that the road ahead is brighter when walked together. Kaelynn Partlow opens with a keynote on understanding autism from the inside, and Grant Bruno, PhD, closes with a keynote on supporting autism from an Indigenous perspective. Breakouts feature Cathy Lord on profound autism, a panel of Bloorview Research Institute clinician-scientists, and sessions on Ontario’s autism service system and Canada’s national autism strategy. A dedicated CEU stream offers BCBA credits each day, with talks by Kimberly Zonneveld on selective eating, Landa Fox on sexual health education and Adam Hahs on safeguarding clinical integrity as AI enters ABA. Professional rates are C$570 for one day or C$900 for two; online registration closes November 6.
Geneva Centre for Autism is a Toronto charity focused on helping autistic people learn, live and engage in their communities, and it is a BACB Authorized Continuing Education provider. The symposium is notable for placing behaviour analysts alongside autistic advocates, researchers and policy voices on the same agenda.
