Location: Penticton Trade and Convention Centre, Penticton, BC.
The 2027 BC Economic Summit is the premier gathering of economic developers, policymakers, business professionals, and community stakeholders dedicated to driving British Columbia's economic future.
Economic development does not happen in isolation. Strong communities are built through partnerships, shared knowledge, and coordinated action.
As communities continue to navigate economic uncertainty, labour challenges, changing industries, opportunities for economic reconciliation, and the need for long-term resilience, the Summit provides a space to come together, learn from one another, and explore ideas that create meaningful impact.
