BCMC 2017: Education Highlights

There was so much information to absorb at this year’s show! And there are more resources online to help you catch up on anything you missed.

BCMC: Fun & Games

High-stakes competition – at the table, out in the wind, and on the court – showed BCMC attendees know how to enjoy themselves both on and off the show floor. Congratulations to all the BCMC winners!
