Location:
The conference is being held in beautiful Vancouver, Canada.

Venue:
Douglas Hotel – 45 Smithe St, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Accommodation :
- There are two different hotels within the complex, and you may notice both options when you enter your booking dates. The Douglas is more edgy, the JW Marriott has more of a classic feel. Both, however, are connected to the conference floor with easy access, all under one roof.
- Please note when you are booking whether you would like a room with two Double beds, or one King. There is a note section in the reservation system for you to do so. We can’t guarantee you will get what you ask for – please contact the hotel directly afterwards to check.
- Reserving a room at The Douglas Hotel or JW Marriott is optional. You may arrange for your accommodation elsewhere as you choose.
Reserve early as only 150 rooms are being held for our group. There is space for 350 people at the conference.
If you have already booked a room for the now-rescheduled-to-2022, 2020 conference, you should have received a cancellation notice. If not, please email Rozaryn.Ramos@marriott.com.
Info about COVID-19:
The province of British Columbia may consider re-installing COVID-19 restrictions, so we advise that if you are booking flights, to purchase flight cancellation insurance. If you did not book travel or cancellation insurance, we are not responsible for payment.
Cancellation Policy:
In-Person
There are no refunds after September 1. If the conference is cancelled due to Covid-19, your purchase will be held for the following year. If you are unable to attend in-person, we will give you access to the online / live stream version of the conference, with no refund.
Live Stream
There will be no refunds for the Online Live-Stream. The Live Stream will be recorded for participants, so if you cannot make the conference time it will be available for you to view later.
Let’s deepen our Compassionate Inquiry Journey and get to know each other in-person!
