Collect Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
Operators and other industry professionals who need education credits can collect Continuing Education Units (CEUs) during the conference by attending eligible education sessions. We anticipate that 1.2 CEUs will be available for attending both days of the in-person conference; however, this will be confirmed once the 2026 Education Program is finalized.
2026 Conference Theme
We are pleased to announce this year’s conference theme is “Where Waters Meet,” which will guide our Education Program.
To truly know British Columbia and the Yukon is to understand the vast, wild and rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Bordered by the Pacific Ocean, these regions are defined by ancient forests, abundant wildlife, pristine mountain glaciers and a confluence of lakes, rivers and streams. Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples have been the stewards of these lands and waters. Their deep connection to the natural world is what guides us in our evolving relationship with this diverse environment and defines our shared history.
At the heart of this year’s conference is the celebration of the many roads, waterways and geographies that make up BC and Yukon regions. Because we don’t exist in isolation – we thrive through connection, conversation and community. What unites us in navigating the vast and vital water resources across our provinces? How can we protect and sustain these resources for future generations? Let this be a space where diverse perspectives, emerging insights and new ideas converge and shape your work.
