As XDS keeps evolving to support the Ex Dev Community, we need a venue that allows us to grow and be creative. The Vancouver Convention Centre provides the space and flexibility to host larger audiences, more educational programming, and expanded sponsor activations. It’s the perfect setting to spark creativity, collaboration, and community.

The Vancouver Convention Centre

Nestled on Vancouver’s stunning waterfront, the Vancouver Convention Centre is one of the world’s premier venues, offering over 466,500 sq ft of flexible event space across its East and West buildings. With striking mountain and harbour views, the centre hosts more than 500 events annually and welcomes hundreds of thousands of attendees from around the globe.

Key Highlights:

• Downtown Convenience: Located at the heart of Vancouver, the VCC is steps away from Canada Place, the Waterfront transit hub, world-class dining, and vibrant entertainment options—making it easy for attendees to explore and enjoy the city.

• Sustainability Leader: As the world’s first double LEED® Platinum-certified convention centre, the VCC sets the global benchmark for environmental stewardship. Features include a six-acre living roof, seawater heating and cooling, on-site water treatment, and a restored marine habitat.

• World-Class Amenities: From flexible meeting rooms to innovative catering that emphasizes fresh, local, and sustainable ingredients, the VCC delivers an unmatched experience for attendees and sponsors alike
