Vancouver a Pioneer in Eco-Friendly Conferences

Vancouver, B.C. is all about the great outdoors, so it’s fitting that the Vancouver Convention Centre is situated right on the water and equipped with huge windows framing breathtaking vistas of the city, the mountains and the sea. Whether you are there for a conference or a trade show, you will enjoy the beauty of this city.

This is a city where voters decided to scrap, rather than renovate the zoo. Respect for nature is big here, and like the city itself, the convention center is pioneering greener ways of living and offers guidelines for sustainable meetings and events.

The official visitors site, with handy two-day, one-day and half day guides, is a great place to get a feel for the city and start planning your trip. For a quick overview of all there is to do and see, check out this top ten list.

You’ll for sure want to go to Stanley Park, one of the best parks in the world and so close you could go on your lunch break from the convention. That’s Vancouver in a nutshell–you can be dining at a fabulous restaurant rivaling anything in San Francisco or New York, and be surrounded by pristine nature just a few minutes later. There are dozens of ways to connect with the great outdoors here, from boating to backpacking to bungy jumping.

Choose the location of your hotel wisely, and you could do it all with the help of Vancouver transit and your own two feet. You’ll be doing your part to be an eco-friendly convention goer helping keep this emerald city greener than green.
