Join us for our last Forum Friday of the year as we do some myth-busting, fact-checking and visioning about the future of workplace. Ontario’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic has turned a corner and, with over 60% of adults vaccinated, will provide a summer of opportunities once again. As we transition back to a more normal day-to-day, what does a return to work look like, and how will a remote work culture impact the future of workplace? As companies start to review their physical office space versus remote working and factor in the desire – or need – for human connection and collaboration, new models of workplace will emerge. An important consideration as part of the evaluation must center around the human experience and an employee’s health and well-being given the new comfort and productivity levels since working from home. If you’ve been following this story in the news, you will have seen either September 2021 or January 2022 mentioned as potential return-to-office dates. You will have seen hybrid as the new buzzword and seen that wellness and environmental considerations are now at play more so than ever before. You will also have read that office towers will be left empty as employers look to smaller (or non-existent) footprints to help navigate the economic realities of lost income from 2020/2021. Is it true and if so, what happens to those empty towers?

The Ontario landscape is emerging from over a year of turmoil, exceptionally hard work and, at times, exhaustion. So now what?
What will slide back into whatever normal is? How will what's emerging impact your current planning strategies, how they evolve and what happens next? The OPPI21 conference will help you, your team, and our profession identify and discuss solutions.
We'll focus on NOW - what is happening in economic development and sustainability and in the accelerated uptake of technology?
And WHAT - what will we do about it? How will we heal our communities and improve our ability to work for the good of everyone?
This fall, the OPPI21 conference will be jam packed with exciting sessions led by industry leaders and experts, all ready to stir up meaningful and proactive discussion.
Last year's virtual event was one of OPPI's most successful conferences ever. You came in your shorts and in your pajamas, you gained insights, you shared ideas, and we all re-connected with colleagues and friends from years past.
This year promises to be even better with a powerful line-up of speakers and topics that will enable everyone who attends to build back better. And while we can't 100% promise there will be an in-person event in Kitchener-Waterloo, we're working on it and will let you know.
