MESSAGE FROM CONFERENCE CO-CHAIRS

OAPPA Colleagues,

We are delighted to extend a heartfelt welcome as we prepare for the 2025 OAPPA Conference at Western University.

Our theme, “Igniting Our Impact,” reflects the unparalleled service and value that facilities teams bring to higher education. This conference will highlight the many ways our professionals positively shape the campus community.

Attendees will have opportunities to share ideas, strengthen peer networks, and engage in discussions on inspirational successes, significant challenges, and the evolving impact of AI in our industry.

Campus walking tours will showcase Western’s cherished landmarks and landscapes, including a river walk, an architectural tour, and a visit to an active construction site. Attendees will also enjoy an evening at The Club House and a special dinner on campus.

Our dedicated planning team has curated an exceptional program designed to inform, inspire, and foster meaningful connections and lasting memories.

Safe travels—we eagerly anticipate welcoming you to London, Ontario, the Forest City!

Warm regards,
Andrew Konowalchuk, AVP, Facilities Management
Mark Durnin, Director, Business Operations, Facilities Management
