Pacific Rim Conference

Tuesday 6 January - Tuesday 13 January 2026


Anticipate an extraordinary experience to submerge in the natural splendor of Whistler. The slopes of Whistler offer an array of outdoor activities, such as skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and mountain biking, making it an ideal location to unwind. With an impressive 8,100+ acres of terrain across the two side by side mountains, making up 200+ marked ski runs, ranging in level from beginner to advanced. Together with an annual snow fall of over 11.8 metres of white powder, skiers of all abilities are very well catered for in this beautiful winter playground. If you are in need of additional adrenaline, there are also options for heli skiing, an aerial zip track, snow mobile tours and bob sled rides.

But its not just the natural scenery and the thrill of winter sports that makes the conference exceptional, we have been running our Pacific Rim Conference in Whistler since 2018, enjoyed by a lot of our conference attendees are the networking events, the special guest speakers for the academic agendas, and also being able to catch up with fellow Whistler conference delegates that re-visit every year.

Whistler Blackcomb is more than just a ski resort. Located at the base of the mountains, the pedestrian-only village offers an array of daytime activities such as shopping, dining, galleries, day spas, and exciting nightlife options for après skiing. The rugged mountain ranges provide a stunning backdrop to this picturesque resort, making it an ideal destination for skiers and non-skiers alike. With Vancouver just a single flight away from the east coast of Australia, this conference is perfect for delegates and their families looking to enjoy a memorable vacation experience.

The Whistler conference will take place at the Pan Pacific Whistler Village Hotel, for which CPE Travel has exclusive access to rooms during the conference week. Find out more or contact CPE Travel now

Dental Accreditation & Agenda

Based on our reading of the Dental Board of Australia's Guidelines: Continuing Professional Development, many of our sessions attract relevant CPD hours as part of Clinically or Scientifically Based activities, under either Dento-legal responsibilities or specific topics on Dental health and closely related medical issues. For most other sessions, CPD hours are claimable under Non-Scientific activities. After the conference you will receive a Certificate of Attendance for your CPD records.

Medical Accreditation & Agenda

This conferences will take place over the duration of a full week with 4 academic days, each with a minimum of 4 hours of academic content each day (making a minimum total of 16 hours for the entire conference). The academic agenda is released on the first day of the conference, in order to provide the diversity and local input that are an important aspect of our conferences. Often local presenters are unable to commit to a specific session time months in advance. We believe (and indeed our feedback reflects) that the local presenters and field trips add immeasurable value to the academic experience and as such we want to preserve our ability to include them. After each conference you will be provided with a Certificate of Attendance and the academic agenda for your records.
