Getting there

57 km (35 mi) to Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.

At 2.2 km (1.4 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.

Nanaimo has 16 venues mapped in total and a population of 99,863. The Nanaimo guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Formats this suits

The seats do not move, which is the whole trade. You get sightlines, acoustics and a lighting rig you would otherwise have to rent, and you give up the ability to put tables in the room. Malaspina Theatre is 2nd of 8 such houses mapped in Nanaimo.

  • 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.
