world-class speakers
The annual OAO Symposium and InfoMart invites world-class speakers from North America to present a thoughtfully-curated program of continuing education lectures to enhance your knowledge and skills and learn how to treat the often-challenging scenarios of the patients you serve.
Saturday Night Experience
The National Gallery
Immerse yourself in an unforgettable evening where Canada’s natural beauty and cultural richness come alive in the glass pavilion of the National Gallery. With sweeping views of Parliament Hill, the space transforms into a warm, rustic escape — complete with an A-frame cabin, a log bar on a cozy porch, and glowing fireside chats.
Family-style tables invite connection amid subtle Canadian charm, while local flavours, artisanal fare, and hands-on storytelling spark inspiration and pride.
In between the quiet moments, a four-piece ‘sugar shack’ band invites you to sing or clap along, or kick up your heels on the dance floor.
It’s Canada — elevated, elegant, and alive with possibility.
