OCASI Professional Development Conference

A Welcome Message from the OCASI Executive Director

The OCASI Professional Development Conference provides an opportunity for staff from immigrant and refugee-serving agencies across Ontario to come together, network, share information about new initiatives, and exchange a wealth of expertise with each other in a relaxed and inspiring setting. Our sector is dynamic and always changing. This conference facilitates training and learning, equipping leadership and staff with the most current information and tools to deliver innovative, effective programs.

OCASI well knows that it is the hard work and enthusiasm of those working on the frontlines that is the foundation of the success of our sector. Together, let us all look forward to learning from each other and strengthening our mutual connections.

Sincerely,

Debbie Douglas
Executive Director

Using an Online Registration Service

The Professional Development Conference and Executive Director Forum both use an online service called RegOnline to manage the conference registrations, which can make it easier and faster to register if you’ve attended before. It will remember some of your information based on your email, like your work address, agency, etc. You’ll still want to take extra care to make sure that it remains correct because we use this information in the directory of participants and to contact you regarding your registration.

Recording Proceedings

At the OCASI conferences we try to make it possible for people who didn’t attend the conference to benefit from it as well. We do this through providing daily updates online during the conference, posting the speaking notes or workshop handouts, or videotaping the plenary proceedings. We put all of those online here so that participants can review them when they get back to the office and so that those who aren’t here can still participate and benefit in some way.
