In 2024, we’re doing things a little bit differently.
It’s going to be in the format of a work retreat. Three 1/2 day workshops, lots of group activities and opportunities to network. Also, an opportunity to recharge and see a beautiful part of North America.
THE WORK RETREAT IS LIMITED TO 40 ATTENDEES

About
This “conference” is not really a traditional conference at all. Because of our beautiful location, we will make this a work retreat. We will have deep-dive, half day workshops, rather than a bunch of one hour sessions.
If you are in the lawn care, maid service, window cleaning, exterior cleaning…you get it…any home service business, this conference is a great fit for YOU.
What To Expect
Expect a smaller, retreat-like conference. For this work retreat, we are limiting the attendees to 40. It will be on a first come, first come basis..
Who Should Attend
We have attendees from all different industries: maid service, lawn care, window cleaning, pressure washing, and gutter cleaning. Our speakers come from different industries as well. The topics are primarily owner or lead management level topics.
Our Goals
This conference is about broadening your funnel of knowledge. We typically follow leaders in our industry, but there is so much to learn from other industry leaders, even if YOU have never heard from them. We love to give you a multi-industry look at how different industry leaders approach recruiting, financial KPI tracking, employee retention, sales, etc. We're a big fan of "out of the box" thinking.

There's So Much to See and Do in Victoria
Famed as Canada’s Castle on the Coast, the Fairmont Empress in Victoria is an award-wining British Columbia hotel and National Historic Site dating back to 1908. With unparalleled views over the Inner Harbour, this historic hotel is where contemporary convenience meets iconic luxury and classic British styling. This Victoria hotel is a distinguished city hideaway with 464 tasteful rooms and suites, including our peerless ‘hotel-within-a-hotel’ Fairmont Gold accommodations, a fine-dining restaurant, and the best afternoon tea in Victoria, BC.
This hotel was handpicked on a “shopping expedition” to find the hotel that was the perfect fit for our group. It has one of the best hotel gyms in town, as well as a full service spa.
When booking your room, please keep in mind that all prices are shown in Canadian dollars.
Travel Information
Fly in/out of SEA-TAC (Seattle-Tacoma Airport) if you want to spend time in Seattle and then take the ferry.
It is possible to fly into Victoria. The airport is small, and you will have a 20 min taxi ride to the inner harbor. (Flying into another airport and getting your own transportation to Victoria will not decrease your ticket price. There are too many logistics to keep track off to create ala carte tickets.)

Frequently Asked Questions
These are some of the most common questions we’re asked about our events in the past. If you want to know anything else, email support@qualitydrivensoftware.
Everything you need to know is right here on our Events page. We continuously update the speakers and session titles/times.
However, we do have a Facebook group devoted to the conference. We share all kinds of information in that group, including airport ride coordination when we get closer to the event.
LOL, not at our conferences! We are one big happy family and even first time attendees feel the love right off the bat. You will be “one of us” by the end of the first day.
The conference will be very different in 2024.
In the past we’ve had QDS conferences, and those weren’t the typical conferences either, but this one is even more different.
First off it is not a conference; it is a work retreat. Meaning, there will be some working (three 1/2 day workshops), but there will be lots of “retreat”, aka soul-fulfilling relaxing and fun.
No, not at all. If we have a session on building out a portion of QDS, we will schedule the session at a time that makes it convenient to arrive late or leave early. It will be an optional session.
