OCA Symposium & Trade Show DELAYED to OCTOBER 5 & 6, 2022

Based on member and exhibitor feedback the OCA Board of Directors has decided to DELAY the April 12-13th Symposium & Trade Show six months to Wednesday/Thursday, October 5 & 6.   Despite the weekly good news on lower hospitalization stats and lifting of restrictions there is still a degree of caution about attending a trade show and the Board felt that better to delay and have as strong an attendance as possible as opposed to proceeding with less. The delay to October should work in favour of the Ottawa French and English school boards to agreeing to send thousands of students to the planned Youth Engagement Zone. They had declined to participate in the April dates. Pictured below is the EY Centre floor layout featuring the Youth Engagement Zone now moved to Hall 4 on the left with the Trade Show in Halls 3 & 4.

The 2-day Symposium website has been updated along with the Symposium Guide which is downloadable at this LINK. As in 2020 registration will be free and attendees will have free parking. Coffee breaks and lunch will be complimentary. The Wednesday evening reception with ample food stations will be complimentary to OCA members and exhibitors. Individual seminar registration will be opened up just prior to the Symposium. For those potential exhibitors who were sitting on the fence you now have hopefully the comfort to register. At present the floor space has some 60 booths remaining which we expect to sell out in coming months.
