The OAS is pleased to share information regarding the upcoming one-day 2026 symposium to be held in Toronto this October, themed “Repairing Bridges: Collaboration, Community, Connection”. The conference will also serve as a celebration of the relaunch of the Toronto Chapter, and we hope to see many of our members in attendance for a day of fascinating talks, posters, and networking! 

The symposium will take place in Toronto, Saturday October 24th at St. Lawrence Hall, with an optional trivia night hosted on Friday October 23rd. 

All submissions can be sent to oas.tochapter@gmail.com, with an extended deadline of Wednesday September 30th. Accepted presentations are needed by Saturday October 17th at 10 AM (*deadline flexible if required).

See below for more details on the theme, the type of research and discussions we are seeking for submission, and potential round table discussion topics that people can sign up to moderate for, or submit your own discussion topic for a round table. 

More details regarding registration, accommodations, conference location, and more, are forthcoming, and we look forward to sharing more and seeing everyone in Toronto in October!
