ROMA Conference 2027
A new term. A shared conversation. A stronger rural Ontario.
January 24–26, 2027 | Sheraton Centre Toronto
The 2026 municipal elections have brought new faces to council tables and renewed mandates for returning leaders. Now, municipal leaders from across Ontario have an opportunity to come together, reconnect and look ahead.
The ROMA Conference is where municipal leaders share perspectives, explore solutions and advance the priorities that matter to their communities. Join colleagues from across the province for three days of learning, discussion, provincial engagement and connection.
Whether you are beginning your first term or returning to council, ROMA 2027 will help you build relationships, gain new perspectives and prepare for the opportunities and challenges ahead.
