Canadian Organization of Campus Activities

The Canadian Organization of Campus Activities, better known by its acronym COCA, is an association of "campus programmers" who plan extra-curricular activities and book live entertainment at university and college campuses across Canada. COCA has more than 60 member schools from Vancouver to St. John's. For the most part, only English-speaking or... bilingual schools are members of COCA but, COCA continues to reach out to French-language schools whenever possible. COCA also has a category of membership called associate membership. Associate members are agents, artists and companies that sell products and services to the Canadian campus programming industry. Presently, COCA has more than 75 associate members. Founded in 1982 as the successor organization to the Canadian Entertainment Conference, COCA has now completed more than twenty-five years of successful operation. In September 1996, COCA established a national head office in London Ontario in order to improve services for its members and to have a central communication point for the general public. The highlight of every year is the COCA national conference that takes place in the month of June. Please see the sections below on the national conference. From time to time, individual member schools host regional meetings and conferences (East, West, and Central) that are held during the academic year. Regional conferences provide additional opportunities for associate members and campus buyers to do business.Read More
