Getting there

10 km (6.2 mi) separates The Western Front from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.

The centre of Vancouver is 2.2 km (1.4 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.

The published number for the venue is +1-604-876-9343.

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.

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. The Western Front is 17th 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.
