Meeting FAQ

Meet in Burnaby is the city’s meetings and events team, part of Tourism Burnaby. Think of us as your local connector and problem-solver. We help planners navigate venues, logistics, suppliers and local partnerships so corporate meetings, educational events and sport gatherings run smoothly from first call to final wrap-up.

Burnaby handles a wide mix of gatherings. We’re flexible and fully equipped. Corporate conferences, board meetings and workshops. Social celebrations like weddings and galas. Sport championships and tournaments at every level. Creative productions, festivals and outdoor performances. If people are gathering with a purpose, there’s likely a space here that will work for you.

Because it’s practical and memorable. Burnaby sits in the centre of Metro Vancouver with direct SkyTrain access and fast links to Vancouver International Airport. Venues are close to hotels, restaurants and green space, so your attendees can move easily between sessions and downtime. It keeps travel simple and the experience strong.

You’ll find full-service hotels, academic campuses, cultural centres and flexible event spaces across the city. With more than 80,000 square feet of combined meeting space, Burnaby accommodates everything from intimate strategy sessions to large-scale conferences without sending guests across town between events.

We assist with venue sourcing, site visits, local supplier connections, promotional support and budget guidance. We also help shape itineraries and delegate experiences that make your event feel considered, not cookie-cutter. You get clear communication and a local team that stays responsive throughout the planning process.
