BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
Your pre-arrival checklist
THINKING OF BRINGING YOUR PARTNER?
“Before the event, I asked my partner if she wanted a social ticket and she was hesitant—past events never really felt welcoming, and weren’t really her scene. But after the first dinner reception she had such a great time that she didn’t want to leave. Afterward she said, ‘Maybe we should get that social ticket.’ Its true testament to how warm and welcoming this event is.”

WHAT TO PACK
What to wear at BEx
Daytime
Business casual
Jeans to dresses to full suits — all fair game. The ballroom temperatures vary wildly depending on where you're sitting, so pack layers. If you run cold, bring a cozy layer or scarf.
Monday evening
Gala — step it up
Most guests dress up a bit more for the Monday night gala. Think smart cocktail attire, sport coats, or dresses — wear whatever makes you feel great for a celebratory evening.
Sunday afternoon — optional activities
Outdoor ready
Sunday's Walk & Talk and S'mores Around the Fire are optional activities held outside. Bring boots or sturdy footwear and outerwear suitable for Alberta mountain weather — it can be cold and snowy even when the sun is shining.

Say hi first
Everyone in this room showed up on purpose. Jump into conversations — nobody stays a stranger for long at BEx.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know before you go.
How do I book a hotel room?

Book your hotel room as soon as possible – rooms will sell out!
What is your refund policy?
Tickets are non-refundable but may be transferred to others. If you want to transfer your ticket, please reach out to Nicole.Romaniuk@unleashresults.com for a transfer form.
Where is the Summit?
Enjoy the breathtaking, luxurious environment of the Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, located in the Rockies 75 minutes from Calgary, or 4 hours from Edmonton, AB.
What should I wear?
Layers are your best friend
The ballroom temperatures can vary depending on where you’re sitting — it might feel warm in one spot and chilly in another. We recommend dressing in comfortable layers that are easy to adjust throughout the day. (We’ve even joked about bringing office blankets… but seriously, layers are key!)
Be outdoor-ready
On Sunday, we’ll head outside for a nature walk and s’mores, so bring boots or sturdy footwear and outerwear suitable for Alberta mountain weather. It can be cold and snowy this time of year — even if the sun is shining.
Business casual is the norm
Throughout the summit, you’ll see everything from jeans and sweaters to dresses and full suits. Most attendees stick to business casual — but wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable.
Gala night calls for a step up
For the Monday evening gala, many guests choose to dress up a bit more — think smart cocktail attire, sport coats, dresses, or whatever makes you feel great for a celebratory evening.
Pro Tip: If you’re a cold person, don’t be afraid to throw a blanket scarf or cozy sweater into your suitcase. It’s better to have it and not need it!
