What do three days at the Executive Management Conference get you? A day and a half of education sessions, more than six networking opportunities and plenty of receptions. 

CEO Seminar 

The BSCAI CEO Seminar attracts an exclusive group of over 150 building service contractor chief executive officers and presidents every year. This intimate event, typically held in a tropical destination in early Q1, provides CEOs and upper management the opportunity to share business practices with one another to build and strengthen their leadership skills. From succession planning to financial management, the CEO Seminar is the can’t-miss leadership event of the year.
