Accommodations

There are several large conferences taking place in Vancouver at the same time as EESD’15 and accommodations in Vancouver are VERY limited. There is an adequate amount of accommodations at UBC for all conference delegates, but there is limited supply of some of the options. Please book your accommodations at UBC through the conference web site (or if you prefer, make your off-campus accommodation arrangements) as soon as possible.

Travel, Program, and Activities

As you make your travel plans for Vancouver, please bear the following program and travel items in mind:

  • Visa information for travel to Canada is available on the conference web site, and there is an option to require an invitation letter when you register for the conference. Other information for travelling to and around Vancouver is also on the web site.
  • The conference program spans from a welcoming reception on the evening on Tuesday, June 9th to a closing reception on Friday, June 12th. A preliminary program is on the web site and more details will be posted as they are finalized.
  • Information about opportunities to tour around Vancouver and the region is also available on the conference web site, from short bus tours of the city to day trips to Whistler, or cruises to Alaska. You are encouraged to make the most of your trip to Vancouver!
