2026 OCC UnConference
Where YOU Set the Agenda
No keynote speakers. No rigid agenda. Just meaningful conversations led by the people who know the sector best—you.
Join us for the 2026 Ontario Care Collective UnConference—a unique professional development experience designed to foster collaboration, meaningful conversations, and shared learning across Ontario's out-of-home care sector.
Unlike a traditional conference, an UnConference is participant-driven. Rather than following a predetermined agenda, attendees help shape the discussions based on the topics, challenges, and opportunities that matter most to them. Through facilitated conversations, peer learning, and collaborative problem-solving, participants have the opportunity to share ideas, ask questions, exchange best practices, and learn from one another.
Whether you're returning for another year or attending for the first time, you'll leave with new perspectives, practical takeaways, and valuable connections with colleagues from across the province.
PLEASE NOTE: This event is for out of home care providers only.
