The Vancouver Convention Centre is home to over 550 events a year – conventions, trade shows and other events of all shapes and sizes that connect people and ideas.
Just as we believe our facility is designed from top to bottom to inspire, the events we have the honour of hosting inspire us on a daily basis.
Our blog is dedicated to sharing ideas that inspire – from event innovation to stories about people and trends that elevate the event experience.
Starting August 15, the Vancouver Convention Centre’s West building will transform into a hub of run, yoga and fun for lululemon’s annual SeaWheeze Half Marathon and its over 10,000 registered runners.
