Alongside an ongoing call for submissions, the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) is also now soliciting a “call for tours,” inviting proposals for possible inclusion in the 2019 OAA Conference program. We are looking for unique & informative tours that will engage and educate the audience. Conference tours can be architectural or recreational in nature. The goals of the program are to show attendees what the Conference host city has to offer in terms of new architectural projects, heritage projects and exciting attractions and or excursion activities. Architectural tours also provide Continuing Education Opportunities for the membership.
All tours submitted will be reviewed by the Conference Committee for approval and may be grouped together with other similar projects. Pre-packaged tour proposals may have individual elements selected for tours, but may not be accepted in their entirety. If you are interested in this opportunity, please forward Proposals to Jennifer Yung, Moore Carlyle Consulting by September 21, 2018.
