Vancouver Meeting Planners Guide 2008-2009 - (Page 11) The Perfect Place to Meet Convention and meeting facilities in Vancouver range in size from a six-person teleconferencing room in a corporate headquarters to a 150,000-square-foot flexible function space. In addition to our meeting facilities, we also have a number of unique venues perfect for that special event. And with a wealth of restaurants and nightclubs, we can make your meeting or gala one to remember. Vancouver’s Convention Facilities • As the city’s premier venue for large events and conventions, the Vancouver Convention Centre offers more than 150,000 square feet of function space. By spring 2009 our centre will more than triple in size for a combined total of almost 500,000 square feet. With a strategic location in the heart of downtown, the centre is near all the major convention hotels. • The British Columbia Institute of Technology’s (BCIT) Downtown Campus is located in the heart of Vancouver’s business district. BCIT offers turnkey events, unparalleled customer service, naturally lit meeting rooms with built-in technology and catering designed to meet your needs and budget.
