The University of Guelph is host to a number of conferences on campus each year. At OpenEd, we provide opportunities for professional development, networking and community engagement through the design and development of conferences that reflect the institution's various areas of expertise.

Accessibility Conference

Providing information, communication and technology in accessible formats is an important part of the University's commitment to equity. Directed towards attendees from the public and private sectors-- including educators, IT managers and providers, web managers and content providers, course designers, and individuals who create and disseminate information--the conference raises awareness of information and communication accessibility issues and will provide practical tools and strategies to incorporate accessibility into the real-world environment.

Please visit the Accessibility Conference website for more details.

Guelph Sexuality Conference

The Guelph Sexuality Conference is a premier academic, educational and informational forum for sexual health professionals. The University of Guelph has been hosting the conference for over 35 years.

The Guelph Sexuality Conference seeks to advance the sexual health and well-being of Canadians and the global community by providing evidence-based information, education, and training designed to engage practitioners in diverse fields related to sexual health. This national conference features plenary speakers, workshops, research presentations, posters, exhibits, social events and networking opportunities.

International Day of the Girl

The University of Guelph's International Day of the Girl is a youth-focused event that not only celebrates what it means to be a girl but also recognizes girls' rights and the unique challenges girls face at home and abroad.

The Day of the Girl Conference welcomes local secondary school students to the Guelph campus on or around the UN designated International Day of the Girl, held each year on October 11.
