Vancouver is a one-of-a-kind meeting destination set in a spectacular natural environment
with activities to meet any interest. Our summer sunshine gives us moderate temperatures
and makes the “wet coast” label seem worlds away (most of the time, anyway). Best
of all, our 16+ hours of daylight leave you plenty of time to take in the conference
and still find opportunities to explore the city, sea, and mountains.
Tourism Vancouver is a great starting point to plan your visit to Vancouver.
