Sponsor the 2024 Fall Conference
Sponsorship Registrations NOW CLOSED
Why should you be involved as a SPONSOR?
Would you benefit from networking and marketing your organization to 400+ Guidance and Career Education workers, IN-PERSON at our conference, and over 900 members ONLINE?
Guidance Counsellors and Career Educators from across the province will be attending our 60th Anniversary conference this year, “The Future is Now – Embrace the Change” at the Hilton: Mississauga/Meadowvale on Sunday, November 3rd from 12:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. and Monday, November 4th from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. This diverse group of colleagues support students as they grow both emotionally and socially and plan for their future pathways. We are passionate about preparing students for an ever-changing employment market, along with helping them achieve wellness in all areas of their lives. At OSCA/ACOSO, we are committed to offering high quality, relevant and engaging professional development. To accomplish this, we need YOU!
Our members are excited to network, learn, and grow together. We anticipate many new Guidance Counsellors and Career educators to attend, as the turnover in this field of education has been immense due to the pandemic. Their thirst to learn about programs and resources is overwhelming and this is where Sponsors can help. Conferences such as this one are very expensive to host. As in the past, the success of this event has largely been due to the contributions of our SPONSORS who have provided financial support.
We hope you will consider joining us to share your products and services, to educate our members about what you can offer them to support them in their work. As a Sponsor, you are directly contributing to the advancement of education in Ontario.
