The Vancouver Convention Center is a premier venue located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, Canada. It is one of the largest convention centers on the West Coast and serves as a popular destination for conferences, trade shows, conventions, and other events.
Voted as the ‘Best City in the Americas’ year after year by Condé Nast Traveller magazine, Vancouver is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the soaring peaks of the North Shore Mountains.
Vancouver is the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples–Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.
Stanley Park offers stunning natural beauty just a stones throw away from the city. With 405 hectares (1,001 acres) of lush vegetation and scenic views of the city skyline and mountains, it’s one of the largest urban parks in North America. Here you can explore the area by foot or Rogers bike, with the most popular route being the seawall, a paved pathway that stretches for 9 kilometers (5.5 miles) along the waterfront.
Take a short break from the congress to view the city from above. The Vancouver Lookout is an observation deck located 800 meters away from the Convention Centre. Atop of the Harbour Centre Building, it offers panoramic views of the city, mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
