At the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre, you’re at the center of it all. Over 13,000 quality hotel rooms are steps away – 1,000 of which are connected to our facility. So are a variety of restaurant, entertainment and retail options. Our harbourfront location offers unique access to a variety of recreational opportunities in a spectacular, scenic setting against a backdrop of mountains, ocean and parks.

With its harbourfront location and breathtaking views, the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre offers our delegates one of the most beautiful settings in the world. Famous for its Five Sails — a landmark in the city of Vancouver — the VCEC’s East Building offers more than 150,000 square feet of highly flexible space over two levels including our lobby and delegate concourse, exhibition halls, ballroom capacity, and meeting rooms.
The West Building—opening in 2008—will offer a variety of unique features that take full advantage of our waterfront setting including an additional 340,000 square feet of function space.  A harbourview connector provides a covered
walkway between both buildings.

Together, the combined facility will triple the size of the VCEC’s existing building and offer nearly 500,000 square feet of attractive and accommodating event space.

Since its inception in 1987, the award-winning Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre has hosted delegates from all over the world. Surrounded by mountains and located on the waterfront in beautiful downtown Vancouver, the VCEC demonstrates a commitment to service and technical excellence combined with high quality banqueting.
