Best of BC

The Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre is the first-ever repeat winner of the International Association of Congress Centres (AIPC) award for “World’s Best Convention Centre.”

“I congratulate the convention centre on its success in this global marketplace. With an expanded facility opening in spring 2009, even more delegates will be able to attend larger conventions in a showcase facility,” said Bill Bennett, Minister of Tourism, Culture and the Arts. “Since many business visitors extend their stay to visit other B.C. communities, the VCEC will play an important role in fulfilling the Province’s goal of doubling tourism revenues by 2015.”
