The Vancouver Convention Centre is home to Canada’s largest waterfront ballroom. At 53,000 sq.ft approximately 3,000 guests can dine in its full configuration or more than 6,000 can be arranged in a theatre set-up. What's more, floor-to-ceiling windows offer mountain and harbour views and soaring ceilings reaching 55 ft create a sense of grandeur.

The Vancouver Convention Centre offers 311,500 ft2 (28,940 m2) of exhibition space or six exhibition halls in total – three in each building, which can be divided for multiple uses, or combined to meet larger exhibition requirements. With 22 loading bays and convenient drive-on access to our grand West exhibition space, event move-in and move-out are simply effortless.

The Convention Centre offers 57,964 ft2 (5,385 m2) of plaza space surrounding its two buildings – perfect to extend the scope of an event with outdoor activations. The East Plaza located at the entrance to the East building is a welcoming space where delegates can enjoy the breathtaking harbour views. Product display and other activations can also be arranged on this space to further enhance your event. The Jack Poole Plaza adjacent to the West building is now a landmark in Vancouver. Home to the majestic Cauldron that burned brightly during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, this vast space is perfect for festivals, community gatherings and special events, such as the Pakistan Festival, the Mexican Day Independence Festival and the Canucks Autism Network Family Festival. It is also the ideal space for delegates to unwind and simply enjoy the breathtaking harbour views.

The Vancouver Convention Centre offers 72 meetings rooms in various sizes that can be configured for a multitude of requirements. There’s a room to fit your every meeting need. Outside every meeting room our guests will find vast pre-function space with natural lighting and art work that will enhance every event experience. We offer 52 meetings rooms in the West building and 20 meeting rooms in the East building.

Our pre-function space is like no other. It’s much more than just its vast size, 150,000 ft2 (13,900 m2) to be exact. Just imagine your informal meeting, registration, networking event or sponsor activation in an open space with floor-to-ceiling windows and views that are second to none.
