Important OPCA Update
Additional education opportunities are available this fall
OPCA has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2026 Southern Oregon Conference. Despite extensive outreach, we were unable to secure enough confirmed speakers to provide the complete, high-quality educational program our members expect and deserve.
We recognize that canceling this conference does not serve our Southern Oregon members as we had intended. We sincerely regret that we cannot bring this program to the region this year and appreciate the understanding of our members, vendors and industry partners.
OPCA remains committed to providing accessible, relevant education throughout Oregon. We are currently finalizing our 2027 educational calendar and expect to release the complete schedule in the coming weeks.
Watch for the upcoming calendar so you can begin planning for continuing education, networking and OPCA involvement throughout 2027.
Members who are seeking additional in-person education or continuing education credits before the end of the year may wish to consider the following independently hosted programs.
