Experience Vancouver!

The 2010 Executive MBA Council Conference special event offers participants a way to both experience Vancouver and the camaraderie of your colleagues in a relaxing, post-Olympic venue.

The Experience Vancouver special event starts after sessions end on Tuesday, Oct. 26. From 4 to 7 PM, conference participants can make their way to Vancouver’s beautiful Granville Island, either by taxi, water taxi, or walking over the Granville Street Bridge.

Referred to as an “urban oasis,” Granville Island is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Canada, offering diverse activities for visitors. The island features unique shops and galleries, the Granville Island Brewery, ferry tours, street entertainment, a large public market, and several parks to explore.

After enjoying the charms of the island, conference participants will come together from 7 to 9 PM for the Experience Vancouver Reception at the Dockside Restaurant on Granville Island. Coca-Cola used the Dockside Restaurant venue for all their receptions during the 2010 Winter Olympics. The reception will feature hearty appetizers and networking opportunities with colleagues in a relaxing social setting. Transportation from the Dockside Restaurant to the hotel will be available from 8 to 9:30 PM.

Please note: To participate in the Experience Vancouver Reception at the Dockside Restaurant from 7 to 9 PM, you must check ‘yes’ in the Dockside Restaurant on Granville Island box on the conference registration form. Participants who register for the event on the conference registration form will receive a ticket for entry when they check in at the conference.
