Travel to Royal Theatre
87 km (54 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 1.6 km (1 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.
Victoria has 35 venues mapped in total and a population of 289,625. The Victoria guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way and 1,416 of them. Catering and breakouts need a second space nearby.
- 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.

- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$6,300for 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.
