How attendees reach it
Allow half an hour each way to Vancouver International Airport (YVR), 11 km (6.8 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
3.4 km (2.1 mi) out from the middle of Vancouver — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.
Vancouver has 94 venues mapped in total and a population of 662,248. The Vancouver guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
Think of it as one room in a bigger plan: a training day, a members' evening, a committee that needs to be in the same place. It is 46th of 94 venues mapped in Vancouver.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
