CHBA BC Conference Kicks Off in Whistler
CHBA BC

We're into day two of CHBA BC's conference taking place at the Chateau Whistler.

Kicking off the conference yesterday, attendees enjoyed a tour of home building projects by CHBA BC member companies, RDC Fine Homes and Schreyer Construction. In the afternoon, keynote speaker Frankie Russo delivered a thought-provoking presentation on A.I.'s potential to transform the homebuilding industry.

The conference continues today with another keynote from Ali Wolf, the chief economist for Zonda Homes, who will speak about the outlook for the housing market across North America and the wider economy.

We're looking forward to wrapping up the day with an entertaining session with Paul "Biznasty" Bissonnette, former NHL player and co-host of the Spittin' Chiclets podcast, to tell stories from the world of professional hockey.
