Events

One of the most important aspects of OCN membership is the opportunity to network with other members and learn from experts and peers about the big issues that concern strata owners.

OCN organises regular events throughout the year featuring guest speakers on key topics, as well as twice-yearly member meetings and an Annual General Meeting open to all members.

We also host webinars, seminars and conferences, and to ensure they are accessible to everyone regardless of time and distance, most of these are recorded and the content made available online for members only.
