  Getting There and Building Access

  • ​SkyTrain
    The closest station is Burrard Station on the Expo Line, a short walk from the venue. Vancouver City Centre Station on the Canada Line is also within walking distance.

  • ​Parking
    Nearby parkades include Bentall Centre parking, RBC Place parking, and Commerce Place parking. Street parking downtown is limited, so please allow additional time if driving.

  • ​Building Access and Timing
    The event will take place on the 29th floor in the Vancouver boardrooms.

  • ​Please plan to arrive before 6:00 PM. The building and elevators close at 6:00 PM, and access after that time cannot be guaranteed.

  • ​Before 6:00 PM, you may proceed directly to the elevators and select the 29th floor. You do not need to check in at the security desk unless requested. If asked, simply inform security that you are attending an event at Fasken on the 29th floor.

  • ​Upon arrival on the 29th floor, the reception sliding doors will remain open. There will be signage directing you to the Vancouver boardrooms where the panel discussion and networking reception will take place.

  • ​If you encounter any difficulty accessing the building or elevators, please contact the organizers on the Luma event chat.
