For the fifth year in a row, BC Care Providers Association is pleased to announce Handicare as the title sponsor for the 2020 Annual Conference.
On August 14th, BCCPA issued an open RFP allowing any commercial organization to submit a bid, and after thoroughly reviewing all submissions, Handicare was selected as the title sponsor.
“We’re thankful for Handicare’s longstanding support of the Annual Conference, which is a reflection of the quality and value of the event,” says BCCPA CEO Daniel Fontaine. “We look forward to working with the Handicare team to exceed all expectations in 2020.”
The 43rd Annual Conference will take place May 24th-26th, 2020 at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler.
“Handicare is thrilled to continue our partnership with BCCPA and return as title sponsor for the 2020 Conference,” says Handicare Regional Sales Manager Jared Bespalko. “The Annual Conference at Whistler continues to get better every year and offers BCCPA members and commercial members a great forum to discuss health care and the residential care sector in B.C.”
“Handicare has built a strong partnership with BCCPA and its members through the conference and our members-only special pricing arrangement. At Handicare, we are committed to making everyday life easier and can’t wait to see everyone again at Whistler in 2020!” Bespalko adds.
