BC Care Providers Association (BCCPA) invites you to apply to speak at our 49th Annual Conference entitled Take Me Home in Whistler, B.C., from May 24-26, 2026. In the ever-evolving landscape of seniors living and care, home is more than just a physical space—it’s a feeling of safety, dignity, and belonging. Take Me Home speaks to the core of our shared mission: to ensure that wherever a senior lays their head, they feel at home.
This year’s conference brings together executive leaders, owners, operators, and senior decision-makers from across long-term care, assisted living, home health, and independent living/private pay sectors. With a focus on innovation, operational excellence, and quality of life, Take Me Home will offer deep insights and practical strategies to elevate every aspect of your organization.
We’re seeking dynamic speakers with actionable ideas designed to not just create better systems, but better homes.
