Canada's Only Business Execution Summit

March 7-9, 2027
Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge

A multi-day, immersive retreat for CEOs and executive leaders

WHAT IS BEx?

BEx is a high-impact executive retreat experience designed exclusively for CEOs and senior executive leaders who need space to think, reset, and lead with clarity.

Away from the noise of day-to-day operations, BEx creates the conditions for deep strategic reflection, meaningful peer connection, and renewed leadership focus—so you return sharper, clearer, and energized to execute.

WHY ATTEND BEx?
  • Step out of the noise and gain uninterrupted thinking time
  • Reset your strategic perspective at the highest level
  • Connect with other CEOs and executive leaders in a high-trust environment
  • Return to your organization sharp, clear, and energized

BEx is an intentional pause for leaders who carry the weight of the organization and are ready to lead the next chapter with clarity and conviction.

WHO ATTENDS BEx?

CEOs, Presidents, Founders, and senior executives of mid-sized Canadian companies – typically organizations between 20 and 500 employees. Leaders from construction, technology, professional services, healthcare, manufacturing, and beyond. What they share isn’t an industry. It’s the weight of the role.

At 325 attendees, BEx is large enough to expand your network and small enough that you’ll leave with real relationships – not business cards

Real Stories From BEx Attendees

"Regardless of the industry that you’re in, I highly suggest coming out. You’re going to learn some things, build some strong connections, and have a lot of fun."

Michelle OkereExecutive Director, Indigenous Prosperity Foundation

Looking For a Full Team Experience?

Connex is for leadership teams who want to grow and execute together. Most impactful when the CEO attends alongside their leadership team. Individuals welcome.

Experiences From the Room

It’s all about the people and the execution. If you miss BEx you are missing the best execution summit that I have ever been a part of.
WHAT BEx ATTENDEES SAY

The best way to understand BEx is to hear from the leaders who’ve been in that room.

“These speakers are so well chosen and impactful in our business that I’ve had at least five or six lightbulb moments. If you take all of that with you, you’ve got an opportunity to grow your business in a meaningful way, with a great network of people behind you.”

Grant Fedoruk
Owner, Leading Edge Physiotherapy

“Bex is learning how to do leadership the right way. Bex really elevates your focus on strategy—on what the company is doing in the long term, as opposed to what you’re doing in the company. As an executive, we can get caught up in transactional conversations”

Jeannine Mallet
CFO, TerraPro

“BEx is powerful & informative. What brought me originally was meeting like-minded leaders willing to share challenges, strategies, and successes. You can grow as a person, but more importantly, it’s all that information that you pick up personally – you can bring it back to your organization.”

Darryl Samycia
President, DESCO Coatings of Alberta

Experience BEx

It's all about meeting people. Because if you want to be incredible, you have to surround yourself with incredible people.

Three days that change how you lead.

From Sunday arrival to Tuesday departure – here’s what those three days actually look like.

Sunday afternoon

You start your drive and the mountains take over.

By the time you arrive in Kananaskis, you know you're somewhere different.

Arrival

Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge.

Calm, focused, and just removed enough from the everyday that you can think clearly again.

Sunday — Champagne Welcome

Someone hands you a glass before you've set your bag down.

You glance around and recognize the type — leaders who didn't come here by accident.

You open your workbook — not because you're supposed to.

Because you need somewhere to put the ideas.

Morning in the Rockies feels different.

The mountains are quiet. The air is sharp. It's the kind of setting that puts things in perspective.

Departure

Grab-and-go lunch. Handshakes that mean something.

People exchange numbers, promise to stay connected, and begin the drive home through the mountains.

The question on everyone's mind isn't "Was it good?"

It's: What will I do differently tomorrow? Small, consistent improvements create meaningful results.

Because that's what BEx is about. Not just ideas. Results.

THE VENUE

Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge

Three days in the Canadian Rockies. A luxury mountain lodge. This isn’t a conference hotel – it’s the ultimate retreat.
A place to step out of your day-to-day and into the kind of setting that resets how you think, work, and connect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who attends BEx?

BEx brings together CEOs, Presidents, Founders, and senior executives of mid-sized companies — typically organizations with 20 to 500 employees — from across Canada. You’ll find leaders from construction, technology, professional services, manufacturing, healthcare, and beyond. What they share isn’t an industry. It’s the weight of the role and a commitment to leading well.

At 325 attendees, BEx is large enough to expand your network and small enough that you’ll leave with real relationships, not business cards.

How is BEx different from other leadership conferences?

Most conferences put you in a seat and talk at you. BEx is built around the reality that the most valuable leadership development happens in conversation with peers who understand what you’re carrying — not in a ballroom listening to someone who doesn’t.

The programming is deliberately designed to create conditions for those conversations: structured peer connection sessions (BEx Connex), intimate breakout groups, and an entire evening gala designed for real relationship-building.

BEx continues to sell out before we announce a single speaker.

""There’s literally no downside to this leadership conference. The return on investment will be seen time over time. So absolutely do it.”

Rick HarperCEO, Truckzone

I've been to leadership conferences before and left disappointed. Why would BEx be different?

Most leadership events optimize for scale — big rooms, sponsor logos, and content that has to appeal to everyone, which means it speaks directly to no one.

BEx is built for one audience: leaders who carry the full weight of an organization. The speakers are selected for their relevance to that specific experience. The peer sessions are structured so that conversations go somewhere. The environment — three days in the Canadian Rockies, away from your inbox and your team — removes the distractions that make reflection impossible at home.

Our net promoter score is among the highest of any leadership event in Canada. Our return rate says more: a significant share of our attendees come back year after year, not because they have to, but because they haven’t found anything that replaces it.

How do I justify 2 days away from my business?

The honest answer: if your business can’t function for 2 days without you, that’s exactly the conversation BEx will help you have.

For most leaders, the real cost of attending isn’t the ticket or the time away. It’s the difficulty of giving yourself permission to think — without a deliverable, without a team needing a decision, without the noise of operations.

BEx is built specifically for that. Two days of uninterrupted strategic thinking, peer conversation, and new frameworks is the kind of investment that changes the next quarter, not just your mood for a week. The leaders who’ve been to BEx consistently report that the decisions made in those mountains — about strategy, team structure, succession, culture — far outweighed the cost of being away.

What will I actually learn?

Past BEx programming has covered:

  • The difference between status and power — and how to build both
  • How to break the competence-likeability bind that limits leadership influence
  • How to extract the honest intelligence your team isn’t telling you
  • How to lead authentically through uncertainty and ambiguity
  • The strategic frameworks that separate execution from aspiration

Beyond the keynotes, three structured workshop sessions go deeper on application — not just ideas, but how to actually use them in your organization.

 

What's included with my registration?

General Admission includes: four keynote speakers, three workshop sessions, all meals and receptions (Sunday welcome reception, Monday gala dinner and entertainment, breakfasts and lunches), a BEx workbook, post-event access to a 30-day speaker portal with all keynote recordings, preferential pricing if you return the following year, and access to all Results-hosted leadership events throughout the year (most are free).

VIP Admission adds: Sunday access to the Kananaskis Nordic Spa, the Black Diamond Club private concierge experience, and an intimate pre-conference lunch at Two Trees Bistro — the single best way to build deep relationships before the main event starts.

I'm new to BEx. Will I know anyone there?

BEx is intentionally designed so you won’t feel like you’re arriving alone. Sunday is built around making real connections before the programming even begins. The afternoon starts with an optional nature walk and relaxed s’mores gathering—easy, low-pressure ways to start meeting people. That evening, a champagne welcome reception with assigned seating and guided conversation activities helps break the ice so no one is left wondering who to talk to. BEx Ambassadors are there throughout to introduce people and help spark conversations.

By the time Monday morning arrives, you won’t feel like a newcomer—you’ll already have a handful of familiar faces, shared moments, and conversations you’re excited to continue.

How do I protect myself from business development pitches?

BEx is designed as a peer experience, not a marketplace for business development. The leaders who attend come to learn from one another, share openly, and grow alongside peers facing similar challenges—not to sell to each other.

We also take practical steps to protect that culture. BEx publishes the attendee list in advance—names and companies only—so you can understand who will be in the room and set your own intentions for the experience before you arrive. Your personal contact information is never shared without your consent, and you decide who you choose to connect with afterward.

Most importantly, the culture at BEx has been shaped over more than a decade by the people who attend. It’s a community of leaders who show up with curiosity, generosity, and a willingness to learn from one another—not to deliver pitches.

Can my partner join me?

Yes. Social tickets are available at a separate low cost and include all meals including attending Sunday evening’s welcome reception and Monday’s gala dinner and entertainment. It makes for a genuinely memorable mountain getaway alongside the professional experience.

See 2027 details & pricing, and purchase a social ticket at registration.

What's the time commitment?

Arrive Sunday afternoon — the optional walk and s’mores start at 3:30 PM, champagne welcome at 4:00 PM. Tuesday’s programming wraps at 12:30 PM with a grab-and-go lunch, putting you home in time for dinner.

Where is BEx held?

The Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge — a luxury resort in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, 75 minutes from Calgary and 4 hours from Edmonton. Once you register for BEx, you’ll receive a link to book your room at our discounted group rate. We recommend booking early, as rooms do sell out and the Black Diamond Club (VIP wing) typically goes first.

Who is behind BEx?

Results Business Consultants is a Canadian business consulting firm with 25+ years of experience in leadership development. BEx started in 2015 as a small mountain retreat. It has grown into a 325-person annual event with a sold-out track record and one of the highest net promoter scores in Canadian executive events.

We built BEx because we believe there is no problem so great that it can’t be solved by bringing the right people together. Ten years later, that belief holds.
