SIG Con - held annually on the last day of CANHEIT - is dedicated to CUCCIO’s Special Interest Groups (SIGs). It’s a unique opportunity for CANHEIT attendees and SIG members to leverage the opportunity to meet in person, build on the conversations from the conference, and strengthen their professional networks.

- Cost: FREE with CANHEIT conference registration
- Date & Time: 9 AM – 4 PM (Lunch provided!)
- Location: CANHEIT 2025 venue at the University of Regina (room TBC)
- Format: Engaging workshop-style session + breakout SIG meetings
- Who Can Attend? Higher education and post-secondary institutions, NREN partners, and national partners (registration required via the CANHEIT registration form, opening in March).
- The day kicks off with a plenary workshop-style session for all attendees, introducing a broad topic and breaking into smaller groups for discussion. Small groups of blended SIG participants will report their findings to the larger group to wrap up the first session.
- Following the plenary session participants will break into their respective SIG groups, where sessions will either be presentations or round-table discussions, led by a SIG lead or an appointed representative.
- If you belong to multiple SIGs, you’re free to move between groups and participate in different discussions.
- Not in a SIG yet? No problem! All higher-ed and research IT professionals are welcome to attend and explore the SIGs that interest them. The only sessions that are not open to all are the Security SIGs.
- Lunch Provided
- Sessions Led By: SIG Leads or appointed representatives

- Can Exhibitors Attend? Exhibitors are not invited to attend SIGCon—we respect this space as a community-driven event.
Strengthen connections within the CUCCIO community and the broader higher education IT sector.
- Enhance collaboration - meeting SIG peers in person fosters better communication and teamwork year-round.
- Explore new SIGs and expand your professional involvement.
