Discover what’s ahead in our community by visiting our Calendar tab, where you can stay up to date with all of our upcoming events. Fall has arrived, and with it we’re back with more opportunities to connect, learn, and share. This season also brings new event formats designed to spark dialogue and strengthen our OD community.

Here are two opportunities happening this October that we’d love for you to join:

How Generative AI Affects the Workplace

When: October 23, 2025 · 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM (PDT)
Where: Zoom
Registration: RSVP here

Generative AI is no longer a futuristic concept, it’s reshaping how organizations work today. Join us for a thought-provoking online session exploring both the opportunities and risks of AI in the workplace. Together, we’ll reflect on how OD can guide organizations through this transformation while keeping human connection and purpose at the center.

BCODN Leadership Insights Lunch

When: October 25, 2025 · 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM (PDT)
Where: Craft Café, New Westminster
Registration: Save your seat

Designed exclusively for senior OD professionals (10+ years of experience), this peer-level lunch offers a space to reconnect with purpose, exchange deep insights, and shape the direction of OD practice over a shared meal. Lunch, coffee/tea, and gratuity are included.

By joining us, you’ll not only expand your professional knowledge but also strengthen the connections that make BCODN such a vibrant community.

On September 24, 2025, we officially kicked off BCODN’s 2025/2026 Cycle with our first networking event at Rikoko in Downtown Vancouver. The evening brought together familiar faces and new members alike, all sharing one purpose: to connect, learn, and build community around the practice of Organizational Development.

Events like this are more than just an opportunity to mingle, they are the foundation of our community. By coming together, we create spaces where ideas can be exchanged, professional connections can grow into collaborations, and the practice of Organizational Development can continue to evolve in meaningful ways. These gatherings remind us that OD is not just about theory or tools, but about people working side by side to make organizations healthier and more impactful.

As we move into this new cycle, we’re excited to offer a range of opportunities for learning and connection:

• Leadership Insights – high-level panels and collaborations with partner organizations such as the Montalbano Centre for Responsible Leadership.

• Insight Circles – interactive, online case discussions for emerging consultants, students, and practitioners.

• Social Mixers – informal, in-person gatherings that focus on conversation and connection.

• Building Community Organizations (BCO) – our flagship program, matching experienced OD practitioners with nonprofit organizations and aspiring consultants. Pending new funding, BCO will continue to provide real-world impact and skill development for our members.

Each of these streams offers a unique way to get involved, whether you’re looking to deepen your expertise, share your experience, or simply meet like-minded professionals. Be sure to keep an eye on our Events Page to register for what’s coming up next, we’d love to see you there.
