Access and arrival
Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is 12 km (7.5 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.
At 4.8 km (3 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.
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.
The kind of event it takes
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. York Theatre is 13th 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.
The app bill, at this size
Suppose 510 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a York Theatre event sized from the recorded footprint of York Theatre at roughly twelve square feet a head. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.

- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 460billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$3,220for 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.
