o4a Annual Conference for Ohio’s Aging & Disability Network
The o4a Annual Conference is Ohio’s premier event focused on home and community-based services (HCBS) and the aging and disability network. Each year, nearly 600 professionals, advocates, providers, and volunteers gather for two days of learning, collaboration, and inspiration. Attendees gain access to expert-led sessions on the latest policies, programs, and best practices, as well as opportunities to explore innovative resources and solutions that strengthen care and support for older adults and people with disabilities.
Beyond the educational sessions, the conference is a hub for connection—bringing together leaders from across Ohio to share ideas, build partnerships, and shape the future of aging and disability services.
Interested in showcasing your organization? Sponsorship opportunities provide excellent visibility, direct engagement with attendees, and a meaningful way to support Ohio’s largest gathering of aging and disability professionals.

Sponsoring the o4a Annual Conference is the best way to connect with the largest gathering of professionals, advocates, and volunteers serving Ohio’s aging and disability communities. It’s an opportunity to showcase your organization, engage directly with leaders across the network, and demonstrate your commitment to supporting home and community-based care.
As OSHIIP shared:
“The o4a Conference allows us to meet with the largest number of professionals, advocates, and volunteers serving the aging and disabled populations. We have been fortunate to work with so many of the agencies in the past, and sponsoring the event was a way to say ‘thank you’ for their years of supporting OSHIIP.”
