BCIA is excited to welcome you to our 2026 Virtual Symposium, a full-day event bringing an opportunity for agrology professionals to come together from across the province to explore how our profession is evolving in a rapidly changing world. This year’s theme, “Professional Practice in a Changing World,” focuses on the challenges and opportunities shaping modern agrology from Indigenous food sovereignty to climate pressures to the use of technology to shifting regulatory expectations and interdisciplinary work.

The forum intends to strengthen a transboundary working group that will bring together restoration biologists, conservation organizations, Tribes, First Nations, land managers, researchers, and community partners across Washington State and British Columbia.

Open to: All BCIA Registrants. Registrations close Oct 27th!

What to Expect

• A relaxed and welcoming opportunity to network with students and agrology professionals.

• Team-based trivia covering soil science, hydrology, forestry, and other areas of agrology.

Farmers rely on a wide network of advisors, researchers and technology providers to evaluate new ideas, adopt innovations, and navigate complex challenges.

Pathways to Practice is a one-day professional development conference bringing together the people who connect agricultural knowledge, technology, and innovation with on-farm decision-making. Attending event sessions can be counted toward BCIA professional development hours.
