2024 AMBC Conference
Mark your calendars for the 2024 Asset Management BC Conference:
“Today’s Decisions-Tomorrow’s Future”
November 6-7, 2024
Radisson Vancouver Airport Hotel, Richmond
The decisions we make today significantly shape our future. Yet, it’s not always easy. Asset management often requires making difficult decisions now, to ensure sustainable service delivery in the future. These decisions are key to ensuring our current community service needs, and how those services are delivered (in a socially, economically, and environmentally responsible manner), do not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
