The acronym CPAC stands for different things depending on the context:
- In Canada, CPAC stands for the "Cable Public Affairs Channel," which is an independent, not-for-profit, commercial-free, bilingual media organization that covers Canadian parliamentary and public affairs programming.
- In the United States and internationally in political contexts, CPAC stands for the "Conservative Political Action Conference." It is an annual political conference attended by conservative activists and officials, originating from the American Conservative Union. The first CPAC took place in 1974 and it serves as a major gathering for conservative leaders and activists.
- In Australia, CPAC refers to a values-based nonprofit organization committed to protecting liberty and opportunity, inspired by conservative leaders and focused on Australian values.
The two most common and widely recognized meanings are the Canadian media channel "Cable Public Affairs Channel" and the American Conservative Political Action Conference.
