2022 OCPA Annual Conference Information

Though our central and unwavering focus on student development and supporting students is timeless, the way in which we carry out that work and the needs of the students we serve are constantly evolving with the changing world around us. Join OCPA for our 2022 Annual Conference – Reimagining Fundamentals to examine the ways in which our institutions, and each of us as practitioners, are growing and adapting to ensure that we continue to meet the changing needs of our students. We hope that this year’s conference will provide opportunities for you to engage, share and learn from colleagues from across our state, as well as ample opportunities for informal interactions and networking. 
 

Conference Dates & Location

The conference will be held as an in-person experience on January 27th and 28th at the DoubleTree Hotel & Conference Center Columbus-Worthington. The Conference Planning team will work to ensure that all current CDC and local health department guidance is implemented or exceeded in order to ensure the safety or our members for the duration of the conference.
