Travel to H. R. MacMillan Space Centre

Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is 10 km (6.2 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.

3.5 km (2.2 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.

What fits in this room

A fixed-seat house suits a single-track programme: keynotes, panels, award ceremonies and film. It does not suit a trade floor, banqueting or anything that needs the seats to move, so pair it with a nearby function room if you need both.

  • award ceremonies

    Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.

  • product launches

    A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.

  • multi-track conferences

    Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
