52nd Annual General Meeting / 52e Assemblée Générale Annuelle
Saturday May 10, 2025 / le samedi le 10 mai 2025
Virtual / virtuel : online / en ligne
The 52nd OALT/ABO Conference : Embrace the Future / Embrace le futur was a successful conference with many first time attendees, with an attendance of around 15.
This was our first one day conference.
We held the conference at the Best Western Plus Toronto Airport in Mississauga.
We started off in a big fashion with Lily Kwok Advocacy and Research Officer, Ontario Library Association as our Keynote Speaker and Melissa Macks, Director of Member Engagement at OLA speaking about Save Our School Libraries and Advocacy for Library Technicians.
It was an interesting talk and gave us some food for thought.
Our Thursday night banquet became a banquet luncheon.
Vincent Elit and Lori O’Connor presented Jessica Hymers with the Award for Innovation.
Some statistics
- Hotel – 2649.49 (includes room booking and catering)
- Swag and other conference items – 267.33
My recommendation for next year is to try to attract more sponsorships to help with the costs.
If anyone would like to make suggestions for next year please email me at conference@oaltabo.on.ca!
