The Coast Combinatorics Conference Series began in 1999.   There are usually two meetings per year, one on the Canadian west coast in mid-February, and one on the Canadian east coast in early May.  Both meetings feature a collegial, collaborative, workshop-style atmosphere, and a diverse collections of talks on topics in Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science.  A meeting is considered a success if all participants have some interesting talks to attend, and some colleagues to work with.

The 2013, 2015 and 2017 west-coast conferences were held on the island of Hawaii.  The 2014 west-coast conference was held at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville.  The 2019 meeting will be held at the University of Hawaii, Manoa (Honolulu), and is being co-organized by Ruth Haas and Gary MacGillivray.
