Hybrid congress
The Congress will be a hybrid event, enabling you to attend in-person or online.
We acknowledge that international travel is still uncertain at this time. Virtual attendance options offer choice and flexibility for attendees, and allow opportunities to engage with those who may not be able to travel.
We strongly encourage those that can travel to Paris to attend in-person, to take advantage of the collegiality, networking opportunities and atmosphere that is unique to the International Congress.
We have all missed the opportunity of in-person occupational therapy events in the past year and are looking forward to the opportunity to connect in 2022.
