Host a Conference

OIA AGM and Conference: Request for Venue Proposals

The Board of Directors invites member organizations to apply to host future OIA annual general meetings and Conferences. These conferences annually themed “Osteopathic Healthcare: A Global Presence,” allow us to together as a global community of osteopathic physicians and osteopaths to connect not only with each other but also with a diverse group of speakers and resources in order to learn more about the state of osteopathic healthcare around the world. Hosting an OIA conference is hard work but brings with it many benefits: it highlights your organization, gives you access to dynamic speakers and resources, and allows you raise awareness about the profession within your country.

The OIA is now accepting applications from prospective conference hosts for 2027, by January 31, 2026. We are also accepting applications to host annual conferences starting in 2028 on a rolling basis, and invite your OIA member organization to submit an application.
