48th annual OCIES conference (2020)

"Festival of OCIES"

OCIES members gather each November for our annual conference. In light of the Covid-19 Pandemic, this year we held the Festival of OCIES – a virtual conference facilitated through Zoom – over 8 – 11 December, 2020.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Festival – we had over 65 facilitators and speakers sharing their insights, learnings and reflections over 20 sessions throughout the week.  We were incredibly pleased with the level of participation and the richness of discussions.  The aim of the Festival was to celebrate the richness of our OCIES community and to provide an opportunity for connection across geographic distance – we believe this was achieved and hope you do too!   If you attended the conference, please take 5 minutes to complete our feedback form to help us learn and improve future events:
