Accommodation
Looking for accommodations? We have a couple of suggested hotels in the area that might work for you. There are also many vacation rentals through AirBnB, VRBO and Homeaway. (Remember to check if prices are in US or Canadian dollars.)
Best Western Plus Uptown Hotel
This hotel is located half way between the conference venues, with easy access to public transit. http://www.bestwesternvancouver.ca/ |
Days Inn Vancouver Downtown
This hotel is located downtown, within walking distance to the SFU Segal Building where Sunday events are happening. Also close to Stanley Park and other Vancouver attractions. http://www.daysinnvancouver.com/ |
Public transit
Public transit in the Lower Mainland is provided by Translink. We recommend purchasing a reloadable Compass Card ($6 card purchase + prepaid fares) for the easiest access to buses, Skytrains and Seabus. Google Maps is integrated with Translink routes and schedules. |
Bike share and rentals
Mobi is Vancouver's bike share program. For less than $10 for a 24 hour period you get unlimited rides under 30 minutes in length. For longer rides or all-day access, we recommend a bike rental company. |
