Open to: All BCIA Registrants
Registration to open soon!! The KAM Branch Executive is excited to announce that our Yearly Regional Meeting will take place at The Terrace, Thompson Rivers University on November 4, 2026. This will be an in-person only event.
Reflecting the announcement of BCIA’s transition away from the formal branch structure, the branch is holding a yearly regional meeting in place of an AGM. While less formal, the meeting will still be an excellent opportunity to hear about regional activities from the past year, engage in dialogue with the CEO/Registrar, and connect with fellow registrants.
