The OSA Soccer Summit is a multi-faceted development conference and one of the major parts of the programming targets match officials. 

And who better to learn from than those who have done it and lived the job? 

Silviu Petrescu will be one of the featured match official speakers at this year's conference. 

As a Canadian Soccer Association referee, he became FIFA listed in 2002 and has been officiating in Major League Soccer since 2006.

He has also officiated in CONCACAF tournaments along with other national and international tournaments and fixtures, from friendlies to World Cup qualifying matches.

The OSA Soccer Summit has made Early Bird pricing available until Jan. 20.

If you haven't reserved your spot at this year's event, now is the time to act.
