Due to the pandemic, the programs for the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons were held exclusively online. Subject to University of Ottawa protocols and public health rules, we hope to return to face-to-face sessions for the 2022-23 season at the University of Ottawa – Social Sciences Building (FSS) at 120 University Private. Even if we can make this transition, we will try to continue to offer limited access through Zoom for those who are unable to attend. As we receive more information from the university about whether our meeting room will be equipped for Zoom, we will provide registrants with updates.
Under the traditional Administrators’ Colloquium format, each in-person session begins at 6:00 p.m. with a reception. Dinner is served at 6:30 p.m. The guest speaker is introduced at about 7:45 p.m., and by 8:00 p.m. the participants are engaged in an open, lively exchange. Evenings under the in-person format usually end by 9:15 p.m. We will return to this format as soon as it is safe to do so.
To encourage open discussion, all sessions, whether in person or online, will continue to be conducted under the Chatham House rule: participants are free to use information from the discussion, but are not allowed to reveal who made any comment.
