Navigate with ease
Flying
Vancouver International Airport (YVR) is only 25 minutes from the venue by car or SkyTrain.
For regional travellers, Harbour Air Seaplanes and Helijet helicopters offer direct flights to the Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre, located steps from the Convention Centre. Perfect for those arriving from Victoria, Nanaimo, Whistler, Tofino, or Seattle.
Parking
Parking is conveniently located in the East Building underground garage of Canada Place (999 Canada Place). Drive to Howe Street, then head to the north end of the street to access the 750 East Building stalls.
.
Because the street directly in front of the Canada Place building (Vancouver Convention Centre East) now operates as a one-way westbound zone, vehicles should approach from Howe Street and proceed west toward Burrard or Thurlow. Attempting to approach from Burrard toward Howe may result in misdirection or no entrance access.
​
​Additionally, there's Public Parking conveniently located near the Convention Center.
Public Transit
The Vancouver Convention Centre is well connected to transit with sky trains, sea buses, and buses. It is also within walking distance from the majority of downtown hotels. To get more information on your specific transit route visit TransLink
