We chose Humber College to host our 2018 and 2021 annual conferences because of our successful conferences held there in 2014 and 2015. The 2021 OAME Annual Conference was originally scheduled to also be held at Humber College, but, because of the COVID-19 pandemic we were unable to proceed with those plans. We certainly hope to return in future years.
Humber College has the ideal facilities to host a large conference, such as ours, which needs to have over 30 breakout rooms of various sizes, and a large plenary area able to hold over 1300 people. Space is also available to hold a trade show with at least 65 booths.
Humber College provided a supportive team to look after our needs, and responded to our queries in a timely manner. A technical team was also onsite to help with our AV and digital requirements during both the plenary and the breakout sessions. Catering for a large conference can be a significant challenge. Humber College handled our group with a well-organized plan, resulting in minimal lineups and efficient service, not to mention the high quality of food served. Dietary restrictions were readily taken care of, as well.
Humber’s attention to detail is outstanding and they go out of their way to ensure our needs are met. We are definitely planning to return in future years.
