Effective Meetings & Event Planning
Techniques and Methodologies to Plan a Wide Variety of Meetings and Events

November 4 - 5, 2025 (2 full days)
Doubletree by Hilton Toronto Airport, Toronto, ON

Many organizations host or participate in a variety of meetings and events, large and small, throughout the year. When properly executed, these meetings and events can deliver a tremendous return on investment in terms of exposure, education, marketing, sales, or other objectives. Conversely, the impact of a poorly executed meeting or event can be substantial.

Workshop topics will include:
  • Setting goals and objectives
  • Planning program content
  • Financial management
  • Facilities, services, and information technology
  • Logistics, and
  • Post-event evaluation
Facilitated by a Certified Meeting Planner, this workshop will provide participants with a sound foundation for successfully hosting an event from planning stages to execution.

Once reviewed by OALA Staff, you will be contacted with a Confirmation Email containing additional details for the training session, including:
  • Conference Venue & Accommodations
  • Travel Sponsorship Details
Should you have any questions about the event, please contact:
