The conference will take place at Harbour Centre (515 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6B 5K3).

Simon Fraser University opened its Harbour Centre campus in 1989. As BC’s first urban campus, it marked a new era in post-secondary education.

Situated in the heart of downtown Vancouver, Harbour Centre offers a variety of meeting, classroom, reception and laboratory spaces. An academic setting, this bright, modern and well-designed building offers versatile, fully equipped and economical options for a wide range of gatherings and budgets.

Simon Fraser University at Harbour Centre is located in Vancouver's historic Spencer building, at the corner of Hastings and Richards streets in the city’s Heritage District. Shopping, restaurants, hotels and entertainment facilities are all minutes away.

Harbour Centre is directly across the street from Vancouver’s transportation hub, Waterfront Station, where Skytrain, Seabus, and Westcoast Express stations conduct visitors and commuters to all parts of metro Vancouver and beyond. The Canada Line Skytrain links Waterfront Station directly to the Vancouver International Airport. Public parking is available at many locations near the campus as well.
