BCPVPA Connecting Leaders Conference
Registration is now closed for the 2025 BCPVPA Connecting Leaders Conference, which will take place in Whistler, BC, October 23 - 25, 2025. We are excited to welcome more than 500 members and friends to this event!
The conference will begin with a special Thursday evening reception honouring National Principals’ Month. On Friday, Dr. Simon Breakspear will take attendees on a deep dive into The Pruning Principle, and the case for strategic subtraction: what if the answer to encouraging positive change in our teams, organizations, and systems lies in doing less? Saturday’s Indigenous Member Symposium is an opportunity for our members who identify as Indigenous to connect and engage, and members can alternately participate in a Saturday interactive session on the BCPVPA Leadership Competencies. We are looking forward to exceptional connection and learning at this year’s conference.
