BC 2030: The Future of BC Real Estate 

October 1-2, 2025

We’re highlighting two of our plenary sessions tackling the near-future of real estate in British Columbia.

Plenary Session: Alternate Realities: Hospitality's Rise Amid Housing’s Fall
Andrew Ramlo, VP Advisory Services at Rennie Group, Andrew Tong, Managing Director at Integral Strategic Real Estate, and Carrie Russell, Managing Director (Canada) at HVS discuss the alternate realities taking place through the lens of demographics, investment, and the travel industry.  Moderated by Past President, Daniel John, discover how the fortunes of hotels may rise precisely as other real estate sectors falter, reshaping the balance of the built environment.

Plenary Session: An Evolution of Partnerships with First Nations
Mindy Wight, CEO of Nch’kay Development Corp., Andrew Hungerford, Partner of Hungerford Properties, and Graham Wood, CEO of Sacred Waters Developments speak with Past President Keith MacLean-Talbot about the evolution of partnerships with First Nations and how partnership structures related to development continue to evolve and the challenges that must be navigated.
