Wednesday, September 14th to Friday, September 16th
Dev Hotel and Conference Centre, Cornwall
Thank you to all of our participants, sponsors and speakers for helping to make this year's in-person Ontario East Municipal Conference a great success.
As we transitioned from two years of virtual conferences, it was nice to gather and network once again with an impressive response from all.
We hoped for 200 and had over 300 participants, an amazing turnout.
As we all know, the presentations at OEMC are fantastic but a lot of the important business gets done between the sessions and after hours. That was certainly true this year in Cornwall.
Congratulations again to the Ontario East EDO of the Year, Bob Peters, City of Cornwall. It was a privilege to present the award to Bob in front of his hometown colleagues, family and friends.
Many thanks also to our hosts at the Dev Hotel and our event manager Megan Howes and her team at Events & Management Plus for ensuring it was a successful event.

Session presentations and photos will be posted to the website in the near future.
Save the date for next year's OEMC September 13 - 15, 2023.
Please be sure to complete the OEMC evaluation while the details are still fresh in your mind. It should only take you a few minutes to complete. Your feedback and comments will be important to us when we begin to plan for next year's event.

One issue that was top of mind for most delegates was the electric vehicle supply chain industry. More than $6 billion in EV-related investments has been announced for the region in the past few years.
