There was ample opportunity to network with peers within the Canadian Beachcomber retail stores and presentations were made by Beachcomber Management and Sales leaders sharing ideas as well as innovations.
During the 3 days of events, Beachcomber dealers were able to experience first hand the manufacturing process of a Beachcomber Hot Tub highlighting the finest quality craftsmanship that goes into the build process of one of the most energy efficient Hot Tubs in the world. Keith Scott the CEO and founder of Beachcomber was on hand with his own style of presentation as well as sharing the emotions of his relationship with the Beachcomber Hot Tub over the decades. Keith hosted an evening with a Social networking party at the Scott Family City Home/Living Space designed in partnership with a Vancouver architect, R. Hollingsworth. The house covers 3 floors and is cut into the solid rock face of a cliff, with a lift to all floors with a Beachcomber Hot Tub taking prime position within the beautifully landscaped property.
