About BNB26 Summit
The Better Not Bitter Summit (BNB26) is the flagship annual event of (BNBS), a Vancouver-based nonprofit founded by to transform adversity into hope, healing, and human connection.
For three years, our sold-out summit has brought together community members, business leaders, healthcare professionals, educators, and changemakers for courageous conversations that matter. This year, we invite you to be part of our most timely conversation yet.
Theme: Family First — The Foundation of Us
Across our communities, many families are navigating challenges that once stayed behind closed doors.
Adult-child estrangement is becoming more common. Loneliness and isolation continue to rise. Mental health concerns are affecting people of every age. Financial pressures, caregiving responsibilities, grief, generational differences, cultural expectations, technology, and the demands of modern life are changing how we connect with those closest to us.
Many people are asking the same questions:
How did we get here?
Why does connection feel harder than ever?
How do we rebuild trust, understanding, and belonging?
BNB26 Summit isn't about blaming families or pretending there are simple answers. It's about creating a space where we can explore these questions together with compassion, curiosity, lived experience, and expert insight.
Whether you are a parent, adult child, partner, caregiver, friend, leader, or simply someone who wants healthier relationships, this evening is for you.
Come curious.
Leave with new perspectives, practical tools, meaningful connections, and renewed hope.
