2012 COCA National Conference

Break into the Canadian college and university market. Founded in 1982, the Canadian Organization of Campus Activities (COCA) is the only association dedicated purely to campus activities programming in Canada.

The COCA National Conference provides an excellent opportunity for colleges & universities, booking agencies and self-represented artists to gather together, network, showcase, exhibit and conduct business. More than 25 showcase opportunities are available in various categories.

COCA is the place to be to get in front of Canadian student activities planners! More than 120 student and staff buyers from approximately 60 schools across the country are expected to attend the 2012 COCA National Conference in Montreal, Quebec, June 22-26, 2012 (5 hours by car east of Toronto or 7 hours by car north of New York City). In addition, more than 65 associate member delegates from over 40 companies will be represented in the Campus Activities Biz Hall, COCA’s trade show.

Artists that are selected to showcase must become COCA associate members or be represented by a company that is, or will become, a COCA associate member. All selected showcase acts must be represented in the trade show either by the act itself or by a company representing the act. Associate “membership” and associate “conference registration” (trade show) forms are available at the COCA Web site under Conferences – National Conference – 2012 national – see List of “Associate” forms at bottom of page.

For links to some of these organizations, please go to the COCA web site.
