ABOUT THE EVENT

Get ready for an unforgettable evening at BPI Community Day 2026—a celebration of collaboration, connection, and community! This annual event brings together researchers, faculty, staff, and students from across BPI for a night of fun, team-building, and meaningful interactions.

This year’s gathering will be extra special as we welcome Indigenous Elders and guests to share their wisdom and practices on sustainability, coexistence with nature, and being good stewards of the land. Their presence will ground our celebration in reflection, gratitude, and learning from traditional ways of living harmoniously with nature.

Building on this shared reflection, the evening moves into connection and participation. Strengthen bonds within your research group and expand your network across disciplines through interactive activities that encourage collaboration, cultural awareness, and teamwork. Enjoy games and group challenges designed to spark camaraderie, followed by a lively social program with music, dancing, karaoke, and time to unwind together.

Don't miss out this opportunity to celebrate our shared mission, create lasting memories, and build a more connected and inclusive BPI community—where everyone belongs.
