About BOMA Canada

2023 Yearbook

In 2023, BOMA Canada experienced one of its most compelling years, marked by significant achievements. The launch of BOMA BEST 4.0, complete with an innovative platform and new content, alongside the debut of BOMA BEST Smart.

The year also saw the revitalization of our sponsorship program, enhancing its value, and culminated in yet another successful, sold-out BOMEX. More than just a series of accomplishments, 2023 laid the foundation for an exciting 2024 and beyond.

There are times when you have to look at where we’ve been to understand where we’re going.

Here is our year in review and peek at what’s coming.

We’ve put together some of the highlights in our annual yearbook. Enjoy!
