About Vancouver Convention Centre
The Vancouver Convention Centre, consisting of the East Building at 999 Canada Place and the West Building at 1055 Canada Place, sits on Vancouver’s downtown waterfront as a premier hub for conferences, exhibitions, galas, and large-scale events. With expansive space and modular layouts, it offers flexible meeting, exhibition, ballroom, and plenary configurations across two connected buildings. Our guide helps you plan a seamless visit: seating layouts, parking, transit options, and nearby lodging and dining—plus insider tips to secure your seats.
Key features include Canada’s largest waterfront ballroom (53,000 sq ft) capable of seating around 3,000 for dining and over 6,000 in theatre configuration, multiple theatre and banquet configurations in West Ballroom rooms A–D, and Exhibition Halls A, B, C (and B1–B3) with substantial theatre capacities and flexible exhibition space. The Centre can host large events with significant delegate counts. The venue is bike-friendly and transit-accessible via SkyTrain (Canada Line), buses, and SeaBus, with parking managed by Impark and Indigo across the West and East buildings.
