EVERYONE IS WELCOME
Part of the beauty of this place comes from the diversity of our people. We’re proud to be a safe, inclusive city, and you’ll hear us say it in one of the 70+ languages spoken here (though English and French are our official languages).
OUR NATURAL PLAYGROUND
We’re surrounded by some of the world’s most beautiful (and accessible) nature, offering year-round mountain, rainforest, and ocean excursions. This is a take-your-breath-away, choose-your-own-adventure kind of place.
GETTING HERE IS SIMPLE. BEING HERE, EVEN EASIER
Here, you’ll find non-stop direct flights to over 122 destinations, with 86 US and 43 international arrivals per day. And to get around, choose from skytrains, buses, taxis, Ubers, Lyfts, limousines, or your legs (we’re very walkable).
INVITE THE BEST MINDS IN YOUR FIELD TO VANCOUVER
The Meeting and Innovation Network of Distinction (MIND) Partnership brings together the region’s foremost trailblazers to invite their professional colleagues to meet in Vancouver, putting both themselves and their field on the world stage.
GREEN VIEWS, THUMBS AND INITIATIVES
As the 1970s birthplace of Greenpeace, you’ll find sustainable practices at every turn – from the six-acre living roof on the Vancouver Convention Centre, to our recycling programs, seasonal menus, hotel certifications and eco-transportation.
WE SHOULD WARN YOU – VANCOUVER CHANGES PEOPLE.
Their perspectives, their trajectories. There’s something about this raw natural beauty, mixed with urban entrepreneurial activity that isn’t just attention-grabbing. It’s unignorable. It invites people in, opens their eyes and expands their minds. And when it’s time to go, your delegates may find that even though they’re leaving this place, this place will probably never leave them.
Whether your delegates have an hour-long break or you’re planning group activities for the afternoon, Vancouver is easy to explore during your time in the city. Most major meeting venues, including the Vancouver Convention Centre, are located right downtown, making it a breeze to get to some of the city’s top attractions, many of which are within walking distance. Whether your group is interested in exploring Stanley Park or the city’s beaches, a spot of shopping or wandering a unique neighbourhood, they can experience an authentic taste of Vancouver in a couple of hours or less.
