Access and arrival
Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is 86 km (53 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 8.3 km (5.2 mi) from the middle of Victoria — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.
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.
The kind of event it takes
At 2,781 seats this takes a full conference in one room. Confirm what the space looks like with the seating cleared, because that is the version most conferences actually book.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
