Lakehead University to Host the 38th Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry
The 38th Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG 2026) will take place from August 12 to 14, 2026, at Lakehead's Orillia Campus.
CCCG is an annual international conference that brings together researchers, faculty members, students, and professionals working in computational geometry, combinatorial geometry, algorithms, discrete mathematics, data structures, graph drawing, geometric optimization, visualization, robotics, geographic information systems, and related areas.
As one of Canada’s longest-running conferences in theoretical computer science and computational mathematics, CCCG provides a forum for presenting new research results, exchanging ideas, and developing collaborations across computer science, mathematics, engineering, and applied sciences. The conference welcomes contributions addressing both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of computational geometry.
Hosting CCCG 2026 provides an opportunity to showcase Lakehead University’s research community to national and international participants. It will also highlight the university’s strengths in computer science, mathematics, data science, algorithms, and interdisciplinary research.
Lakehead faculty members are playing key roles in organizing the conference. Dr. Thiago E. Alves de Oliveira and Dr. Xing Tan will serve as general co-chairs. The technical program will be led by Dr. Manfred Lau and Dr. Kevin Wu as program co-chairs. Dr. Moira MacNeil will also contribute as a member of the program committee.
CCCG 2026 will feature two distinguished invited speakers. Dr. Carola Wenk, professor and Chair of the Department of Computer Science at Tulane University, will deliver the Godfried Toussaint Memorial Talk. Dr. Ian Munro, university professor and Canada Research Chair in Algorithm Design at the University of Waterloo, will deliver the Paul Erdős Memorial Talk.
Through hosting CCCG 2026, Lakehead will welcome leading researchers and emerging scholars to Orillia for three days of research presentations, invited talks, academic discussion, and professional networking. The event is expected to strengthen research connections across Canada and internationally while supporting student participation and engagement in computational geometry and related fields.
