The 2024 Retreat Recap
Wow! Our ABCHI1 Retreat & Reunion annual kickoff held in Niagara Falls, Ontario January 16th-18th was an amazing opportunity for the ABCHI Family to network, learn and have fun.
Thank you to our incredible speakers as well as the 70+ inspectors who joined us from coast to coast!
“While attending ABCHI1, I was able to meet with colleagues face-to-face from across Canada and share business ideas and challenges, as well as possible solutions to those challenges,” says Valerie Fraser, Franchise Co-Owner, Medicine Hat/SW Saskatchewan. “As we are all entrepreneurs, it was such a great networking opportunity to be in the same room with like-minded people! The sessions during the conference were incredibly valuable and so in sync with our business. I came away from the conference with new ideas, new business connections and a high level of excitement to grow our business! Since the conference, I have stayed in touch with a few of the other entrepreneurs across Canada and continue to share ideas with them! Highly recommend attending this annual event – you will thank yourself!”
