The Ontario Association for Impact Assessment (OAIA), a forum for exchanging information and promoting best practice in impact assessment. OAIA organizes two types of events annually: Webinars and Conference. These are held in person or virtually.

Conferences

OAIA is organizing its annual conference and is now seeking sponsors.

The 2024 conference will take place on October 23 and 24, 2024, and will be held in-person at the Old Mill Toronto. The conference theme is: Impact & Environmental Assessment: It’s a Lot & We Can Get Great Things Done. A Recipe for Meaningful Assessments in a Time of Innovation, Modernization, and Uncertainty. More information about the conference can be found here: OAIA 2024 Conference.

Reasons for Sponsoring

Some of the reasons for sponsoring the conference include:

  • In recent years the in-person OAIA conference has attracted around 160 participants. We’ve also had between 70-150 people attend our webinars in the past.
  • Participants come from industry, federal, provincial and municipal governments, Indigenous communities and organizations, and academia. As a sponsor, you can increase your organization’s visibility to current and potential clients, partners and stakeholders and network with an audience of impact/environmental assessment professionals.
  • Your organization can be associated with other thought and practice leaders in the field of impact assessment, sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Your sponsorship will help demonstrate your commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility in the process of impact/environmental assessment.

  • Give your staff the opportunity to network with leading practitioners and experts.
