Access and arrival
Allow half an hour each way to Vancouver International Airport (YVR), 13 km (8.1 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
4.9 km (3 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.
The kind of event it takes
Smaller spaces are where most events actually happen, and Historic Theatre is one of them. A single-track day works; a programme with a trade floor attached does not.
- 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.
The app bill, at this size
A Historic Theatre programme at 190 activated attendees — sized to the stated capacity of Historic Theatre — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.

- 140billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$980for the whole event, at CA$7 each
You are billed for people, not for the room, so this figure does not change if you move the event down the road. event67 has no floor-plan or booking product — the venue handles the space, the app handles the people in it.
