We are pleased to announce that OEP 2022 will now be held from Wednesday July 27 to Friday July 29 at the Nottawasaga Inn Resort. With the new dates, we are excited to bring new elements to the OEP formula by hosting a summer conference during the week, bringing options for additional outdoor networking opportunities including outdoor firepits, hiking trails, and golf course amenities. We are busy re-tooling the conference schedule and will have more information closer to the event.

For current registrants, we are happy to hold you previous payments as early-bird registration for the July event.

01/03/2022 UPDATE: OEP 2022 POSTPONED
We have made the difficult decision to postpone OEP 2022 until a later date. While we still have details to work out, we hope this decision will alleviate unnecessary stress on planning in-person activities over the next month.
  • If you had booked a room with the hotel under the OEP block, reservations will be automatically cancelled by the venue. We have received a list of confirmed cancellations and refunds should be seen on your credit card in the next few days.
  • We will be providing a new abstract deadline pending the new date, TBD. We hope you consider re-submitting your work to the new date, or are able to finish up proposal projects to present full papers at the meeting.
  • If you have already registered, we are happy to hold your registration payment as early-bird pricing for the new conference date. If you require a refund, those details will be available early next week.
If you have any questions about the above details or the even, please contact the conference organizers at jason.au@uwaterloo.ca.

12/17/2021 UPDATE
We have extended early-bird pricing until January 10th, 2022.

12/16/2021 UPDATE ON COVID-19 OMICRON VARIANT
We are currently in discussion with the venue to determine options and contingencies for how the event will handle the recent emergence of the COVID-19 Omicron variant. Any decisions about the conference will be emailed to registrants, and posted here when available. Logistically for attendees:
  • Please note that hotels can be cancelled up to 30 days prior to the event. If you do not feel you can attend, we advise you to cancel by January 5th, 2022.
  • We are currently in talks with Shopify for how to amend registration rates and refunds - we will have more information within the next week.

The Ontario Exercise Physiology conference is a student-focused meeting held annually. The conference attracts faculty and students from across Ontario and beyond, providing an opportunity for trainees to present their research, network with students and faculty, and learn about the exciting research being conducted across Ontario.
