2023 Exchange Conference

OMSSA hosted more than 330 people from the human services, health, child care, and public services for our in-person 2023 Exchange Conference held on May 9th and 10th in Ottawa, Ontario.

Thank you to all of those who presented, moderated, attended, engaged, and helped make the Conference a success. Our Conference provided the opportunity to bring first-line human services staff from across Ontario to learn, inspire, and think about the Ontario we all want.

Over two days, the Exchange Conference focused on several important professional development topics, enhancing skill sets, and the innovative work happening in each of our sectors to address the most pressing issues in our local communities.
