Hotel Accommodations

Conference delegates are encouraged to make a reservation at The Westin Bayshore, the venue for the conference program, or nearby at the Coast Plaza Hotel, where a lower-cost guest room rate is available.


The Westin Bayshore is situated in Coal Harbour and connected to historic Stanley Park via its picturesque seawall. The luxury hotel is within easy walking distance to English Bay’s beaches, shopping, and favourite attractions like the Vancouver Aquarium. The traveling distance from the hotel to the Vancouver International Airport is only 19 km.
