WELCOME COCKTAIL

The social program kicks off with our customary Welcome Cocktail in the Atrium at the Pan Pacific Hotel, a sophisticated venue overlooking the harbor and offering breathtaking vistas of the mountains. For an even better look at the stunning landscape, delegates are welcome to step out onto the outdoor terrace. Delectable canapés showcasing the finest local seafood, as well as scrumptious nuts and dried fruits, will be served to the tune of jazz classics.

CASUAL BUFFET DINNER

Sponsored by Wonderful Pistachios & Almonds

Nothing matches the electrifying energy of BC Place, an iconic venue that is set to host multiple matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Our Casual Dinner will capture the essence of a real tailgate party on the BC Lions’ home turf. Out on the field, joined by mascots, dance troupes and a marching band, we will enjoy an up-close view of a friendly game of Canadian football. Dinner will feature Canadian street food and a stadium-style bar offering a range of thirst-quenching options, including the most Canadian of cocktails: the Caesar.
