Walking in Two Worlds

OLA Super Conference 2023: February 1–4, 2023

As we move through the past few years, we realize in so many ways we are Walking in Two Worlds. We are embracing our country’s Indigenous History and questioning the Truths we may have held as we begin the Reconciliation Process; We find ourselves in cross-roads of divergent realities in our personal lives and our workplaces; We are re-entering the hybrid world, away from virtual and distanced only; We work to balance justice with a just society; and We realize the importance of our library and information sector, but don’t know what our service demands will be or how our libraries will take shape as we continue to come through the pandemic. This walking in two worlds, knowing and not knowing, old and new, equity and diversity, truth and reconciliation is where we find ourselves as we embrace for our next steps together.

Super EXPO 2023

Thank you for your interest in the OLA Super Conference 2023 and the EXPO. It is Canada’s largest annual library and information event. The OLA Super Conference attracted 4,500 in 2020.

The 2023 OLA Super Conference will be returning to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

In the past few years, we have learned the importance of holding event spaces and gatherings that are both flexible and accessible for attendees, and we know how important it is to provide options. We are thrilled to be back in-person for Super Conference 2023, while also curating a Digital Experience that allows OLA members to choose how they attend and participate in the conference.

OLA Super Conference has grown steadily since 1999 and is recognized as a leading event for professional development and networking on the continent. Many vendors come to OLA when they have policies not to attend state/provincial level conferences because of the sheer size and market size that is presented to them.

Please look at the Prospectus below for all the information on the event. Remember that OLA Associate Members receive a discount on space and preference for allocation.
