Join RTO3 and Ontario’s Southwest at the Southern Ontario Tourism Conference on March 3rd & 4th, 2026. Held at the Lamplighter Inn & Conference Centre in London, Ontario, our tourism industry conference will bring together business operators, destinations managers, municipalities, community leaders, and sector associations from across southern Ontario for two days of learning, networking, and fun.
Start your conference with one of our popular Learning Tours. These half-day experiences offer the opportunity to connect with local tourism operators and businesses, discover innovative approaches, and network with industry peers while exploring the authentic character of London.
Add a Learning Tour to your conference registration and choose from three distinctive experiences:
Local Bites & Culinary Delights – Explore the region's thriving food and beverage scene
Aambe Baamaadzi Deshkan Ziibiing (Let's Go Travel to Antler River) – Experience Indigenous tourism and cultural learning
Amplified: London's Music, History & Heart – Discover the stories behind London's vibrant cultural landscape
Each tour provides practical insights and ideas you can bring back to your own destination or operation. Spaces are extremely limited and historically sell out quickly! And last but not least, register before December 19th to guarantee your spot at the conference for a special early bird rate of $225.
Whether you're a business owner, tourism stakeholder, student, consultant, or government representative - if you're passionate about advancing tourism in Southern Ontario, this conference is for you.
