Travel to The Cultch
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.
What fits in this room
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. The Cultch is 15th of 30 such houses mapped in Vancouver.
- 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.
A worked example for The Cultch
Take 240 people through the door in The Cultch — a plausible programme at a venue of this kind in Vancouver. The first 50 activated attendees are free on every event, so only the rest are billed, and the total stops moving at 1,000 however many more turn up.

- CA$1,330for 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.
