The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel is known worldwide as the Castle in the Rockies. From its opening in 1888, to the fire of 1926, and from the 70s when it became a winter destination to today, the Banff Springs Hotel has been a Canadian icon in hospitality. Banff National Park is part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The 2018 TIAC Conference will kick off and close with the traditional dinner and dances in the historic Cascades Ballroom.
Saturday’s program will feature several invited speakers, as well as the contractor, manufacturer, and distributor breakout sessions. The spousal/family program will also be running this day. This day will wrap up with TIAC’s BBQ Hoedown at Mount View BBQ. Don’t miss this taste of Alberta.
Sunday morning will include more presentations, followed by TIAC’s traditional golf tournament at the Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course. According to the golf club’s website, “The hallowed fairways of one of the world’s most scenic golf courses are a sanctuary for the privileged few who are members of the Banff Springs Golf Club and for travelling golfers fortunate enough to experience the combination of natural beauty and tradition that the Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course provides.”
Sunday evening is a night off and delegates are encouraged to explore the Banff and Lake Louise area.
As we reach Monday, the final day of the Conference, join us for the final morning of presentations, including a sneak-peak at the 2019 Conference program scheduled for August 24-27 in Montreal.

TIAC is Offering the Insulation Energy Appraisal Program – September 6 and 7,
The Insulation Energy Appraisal Program (IEAP) is a two-day course that teaches students how to determine the optimal insulation thickness and corresponding energy and dollar savings for a project. The program was designed to teach students the necessary information to give facility managers a better understanding of the true dollar and performance value of their insulated systems.
During the course you will learn how to conduct a facility walkthrough, use the 3E Plus® software, utilize infrared cameras during inspections, understand steam efficiencies, analyze and complete an appraisal spreadsheet, and present your customer with a final report that outlines the potential savings and emission reductions that mechanical insulation can provide.
The TIAC board is excited to welcome you to the 56th annual conference. See you in September.
