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 members’ questions answered!
The theme (to be announced) and the annual event is sponsored by WorkSafe BC, Signature Risk, Rona, Western Financial Group, First Data and Pathfinder Ventures.
