We are very excited to be hosting our Band Administration Conference as a virtual and in-person hybrid. The conference is taking place September 15-17, 2020 at Spirit Ridge Resort in Osoyoos, BC and will also be broadcast live.
In order to maintain the physical distance guidelines safely, we are limiting the amount of in-person delegates. This will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. We are working closely with the hotel to ensure safety guidelines are being followed and encourage everyone wear a mask and use the sanitizer stations frequently.

As our Pre-Conference Workshop will be interactive with Q&A and written exercises, we will only be offering this in-person at this time.
