Meeting Again, Safely

Our industry, our community and you have all been adapting and evolving in the face of COVID-19, and so have we.

With your safety front of mind, our team at the Vancouver Convention Centre has been hard at work preparing to welcome you back – safely and thoughtfully. And of course, while carefully adhering to public health guidelines.

We have collaborated with a wide-range of experts – from health authorities to industry professionals and more – to help inform the comprehensive safety measures we have introduced and will continue to evolve as necessary. From how our buildings are entered and exited, how our team interacts with guests and how we sanitize our spaces and more, we have looked at every aspect of how you can visit our facility safely and with confidence.

We know that events moving forward will need to be reimagined. And we are ready to work with you to reimagine how your event can be hosted safely in our highly adaptable spaces and controlled environments.

Meetings inspire ideas, amplify voices and change the world. For now, we are welcoming back smaller, modified events until a more appropriate time when we can meet again for large gatherings.

Proof of Vaccination Requirement

In accordance with the Provincial Health Officer’s order effective September 13, 2021 and the Vancouver Convention Centre’s own policy, all event participants (patrons, clients and event staff) are now required to provide proof of vaccination when coming into the facility. The requirement is currently in place until January 31, 2022 and may be extended.

Making Your Experience Safe

We have further strengthened our commitment to health and safety by earning the Global Biorisk Advisory Council® (GBAC) STAR™ accreditation for outbreak prevention, response, and recovery. GBAC STAR™ is the gold standard of prepared facilities and provides third-party validation that facilities have rigorous protocols in place for a thorough response to biorisk situations.

We've also introduced these comprehensive safety measures and adapted our practices. And it doesn't stop there - our approach to health and safety will continue to evolve alongside your expectations and new industry standards moving forward.

What Sets Us Apart

The Convention Centre is a multi-purpose facility that can be configured in different ways to cater to unique event requirements with enhanced protocols. It is also a highly controlled environment that lends itself well for modified events and activity.
