ODI hosts several conferences that provide engaged dialogue and training through speakers, presentations, and workshops.

Ohio State Conference on Learning and Leadership
Since 1995, ODI’s national conference has provided attendees with new and inventive ways to support students, colleagues, and community members by sharing research and best practices on education, leadership, and professional development.
To better reflect an expanded scope, we are introducing our conference as the Ohio State Conference on Learning and Leadership (OSCLL). Aimed at educators, industry leaders and community partners, the OSCLL offers the enriching experience that attendees have come to expect. We are committed to providing a dynamic forum for creating and discovering knowledge to improve the well-being of our local and global communities.

Student Parent Support Symposium
The nationally-acclaimed Student Parent Support Symposium (SPSS) brings together professionals to discuss best practices, challenges, program models, and collaboration with community resources when working with single parents, low-income parents, and their families and promoting support services in higher education for these unique populations.
