In 2026, the Ohio Association of Physician Assistants will bring our community together for one premier, in-person annual conference instead of hosting separate spring and fall meetings.
This intentional shift allows us to focus our energy, creativity, and resources into a single, elevated experience. By consolidating our in-person programming, we’re creating a true can’t-miss event, with expanded educational opportunities, meaningful networking, and an energized space to connect with fellow PAs, PA students, and industry supporters from across the state.
Has it been a few years since you have joined us at an OAPA Annual Conference? Or maybe you've never attended and are thinking this will be the year?
Check out this conference recap article to hear about our 2025 event, and plan now to attend in 2026. Revisit this page soon to find a tentative schedule and to be among the first to register!
2026 information coming soon!
