2024 Conference Recap

As in the past, the OACAO’s 2025 Aging Well Conference will feature an interactive Trade Show,
providing OACAO Partners and seniors-serving businesses and organizations with the opportunity
to highlight their services and products to Canada’s fastest-growing demographic.

On Monday, November 3, 2025, we will host the 2025 Trade Show at the Older Adult Centres’
Association of Ontario (OACAO) Annual Provincial Conference at the Hilton Mississauga/
Meadowvale Hotel in Mississauga. The Trade Show will be held inside the Graydon Ballroom.

Building on the success of past events, which featured over 35 exhibitors, our upcoming Trade
Show offers a unique opportunity to showcase your products and services. With a growing
network of over 250 senior centres and organizations reaching more than 200,000 older adults
across Ontario, this event will connect you directly with approximately 175 front-line staff and
volunteers who support seniors in their communities every day.

Trade Show Registration is NOW OPEN to OACAO Business Partners.
