Call for Presentations
CPTED-PCAM Canada and CPTED USA Chapters of the International CPTED Association are delighted to release this formal Call for Presentations at the 2026 joint Conference.
Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to submit innovative, applied, and forward‑looking CPTED work aligned with the conference theme: CPTED – Improving the Quality of Life Through Design.
The 2026 International CPTED Conference in Calgary is calling for bold, original, and practice-driven presentations that push the field forward. We are seeking the latest developments in CPTED, from artificial intelligence and ethical technology, to community-led prevention, Indigenous and culturally grounded practice, third places, climate-responsive design, public health approaches to safety, and the future of policing and urban design.
If your work challenges assumptions, bridges disciplines, or offers practical lessons for safer and more livable communities, we want to hear from you.
