BOLTT – Bringing Online Teams Together – provides rich opportunities for learning from and collaborating with eLearning colleagues as we work together to build knowledge and skills and harness the power of learning to Educate, Engage and Empower our learners.

New for BOLTT OTTAWA 2023-24!

Some exciting new features of the BOLTT OTTAWA SPRING Conference include:

Keynote speakers added to the program (see the Ottawa Keynote Speaker page for details)
A more streamlined registration process for conference registrants.
Options for either in-person or virtual BOLTT attendance. Please note the following regarding virtual attendance:
- Our capacity for virtual attendees is limited. Preference for virtual attendance will be given to people who would need to travel significant distances to attend the conference (for example, attendees from northern school boards).
- Sessions available to virtual attendees will be a live-stream of in-person sessions. As a result, all workshop/session presenters must attend the conference in person.
New payment options including self-payment with a credit card or invoice, or board invoice.
