Finding the Right Balance: Weekday vs. Weekend Events
OPCA continues to evaluate weekday vs. weekend scheduling for educational events. Recent member feedback shows a clear preference for weekday meetings, though the association recognizes the challenges this creates for some companies. Weekend events present attendance challenges for vendors, whose support helps keep costs down. OPCA will continue to monitor and adapt. 2026 events are scheduled and open for registration, along with a January virtual session offering a flexible CEU option.
