Airport
We recommend flying into Vancouver International Airport (YVR), located in Richmond, British Columbia. It is located 12 km from Downtown Vancouver, where our conference venue is, which is connected by the Canada Line (SkyTrain).
This page contains maps to help you navigate the airport.
TRANSIT
The SkyTrain system serves the Metro Vancouver region, composed of the Canada Line, the Expo Line, and the Millennium Line. The Canada Line runs between the airport, Richmond, and Downtown Vancouver. The Expo Line connects the neighbouring cities of Burnaby, New Westminster, and Surrey to Downtown. The Millennium Line connects East Vancouver to the neighbouring cities of Burnaby, Port Moody, and Coquitlam. The Burrard and Granville (Expo Line) and the Vancouver City Centre (Canada Line) SkyTrain stations are at a walkable distance to the conference venue.
The SkyTrain, bus, and SeaBus are all operated by TransLink. Methods to purchase a fare include using cash (CAD) (for the bus), debit/credit cards, or buy purchasing a single ticket, DayPass, or Compass transit card. Compass cards are a reloadable fare card available for purchase at SkyTrain stations, SeaBus terminals, and some retailers.
