Join Us This Fall in Kelowna for an
Unforgettable Conference Experience

November 13 - 15, 2026

This fall from NOVEMBER 13 - 15, 2026, we are proud to bring our community together in one of Canada’s most breathtaking destinations—Kelowna.

Surrounded by rolling vineyards, sweeping lake views, and the vibrant colours of the season, our Fall Conference promises to be a standout event that combines professional growth, meaningful connection, and a truly memorable setting.

As our industry continues to evolve, staying informed, engaged, and connected has never been more important. This year’s conference will be thoughtfully designed to deliver just that. Attendees can look forward to a robust program featuring expert-led sessions, hands-on workshops, and panel discussions that address the most relevant topics facing professionals today. From emerging trends and regulatory updates to practical tools and business strategies, every session is crafted to provide real-world value you can take back to your day-to-day work.

Beyond the educational program, the conference offers something equally important—the opportunity to reconnect. Whether you’re a long-time member or attending for the first time, you’ll be part of a welcoming and collaborative environment where ideas are shared, challenges are discussed openly, and lasting relationships are built. Networking events, social gatherings, and informal meetups throughout the conference will give you the chance to connect with peers from across the country, exchange insights, and strengthen your professional network.

And then there’s the location. Fall in Kelowna is nothing short of spectacular. With its mild temperatures, golden vineyards, and relaxed pace, it’s the perfect backdrop for both learning and leisure. Take advantage of your time outside the conference sessions to explore local wineries, enjoy lakeside walks, or simply unwind and take in the scenery. It’s an experience that blends business and pleasure in the best possible way.

Whether your goal is to deepen your expertise, expand your network, or simply recharge in a beautiful setting, this conference delivers on all fronts. It’s more than an event—it’s an opportunity to invest in your professional growth while reconnecting with the community that supports and strengthens our industry.

Stay tuned for more details on registration, accommodations, and our exciting lineup of speakers. We look forward to welcoming you to Kelowna this fall for a conference experience that will inform, inspire, and energize.
