The building
It stands at 6111 River Road, right in the centre of Richmond.

8,000 is hall scale — a full general session, or an exhibition floor with the seating cleared.

Access and arrival
Vancouver International Airport (YVR) sits 3 km (1.9 mi) out, so a same-day return is realistic for anyone flying in for one session.
It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.
Richmond has 4 venues mapped in total and a population of 209,937. The Richmond guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
The kind of event it takes
A room this size is a plenary and nothing else. Keynotes, awards and general sessions work; the breakouts, the exhibition and the catering all have to happen somewhere else, so the venue is really the anchor of a campus rather than the whole event.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 8,000 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
