Ideas Forum and Annual General Meeting

2020 Lodging and Camping Ideas Forum Postponed

The 2020 face-to-face Ideas Forum is another victim of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead we hosted a series of webinars in the fall – for details and recordings click here. The next live “Lodging and Camping Ideas Forum” is slated for October 2021 at The Ramada Hotel, 2170 Harvey Ave, Kelowna, British Columbia.

Sponsored by WorkSafe BC and Western Financial Group. Supported by Partner Members RONA and First Data Canada

Education and Information Sharing

The Ideas Forum is designed to provide BC Lodging and Campground Association members and guests with an inexpensive learning opportunity thanks to our sponsors and suppliers. It’s a chance to network with the sponsors, suppliers, fellow members and meet the volunteer board of directors. This is where ideas are discussed, knowledge is shared, and member’s questions answered!
