"Breathtaking views and a fantastic experience. The Vancouver Convention Centre offers stunning waterfront views, and I loved watching the seaplanes land and take off. The architecture is impressive, and the atmosphere is lively. Whether you're attending an event or just visiting, it's a great spot to take in the sights.

Wonderful facility that is close to multiple hotels and food options all within walking distance. I attended an international convention here that had about 35,000 attendees and we were easily accommodated. Excellent experience. Great facility, gorgeous view and beautiful city. Would definitely recommend amd go back.

They took care of 45,000 plus of us last weekend. They did all of this with smiles, much love, kindness, and patience. They accomplished all of this while assisting Cruise Ships coming in with 2,700 people....
