Most conference activities will take place at Simon Fraser University’s Wosk Centre for Dialogue (580 West Hastings Street), which is directly attached to the Delta Suites Downtown Vancouver. Other relatively economical downtown hotels include the Days Inn Vancouver Downtown (four blocks from the Wosk Centre) and the Century Plaza (17 minute walk). If you are considering accommodation farther away, note that the Wosk Centre is served by the Waterfront Transit Station, which makes it fast and easy to get to other areas on the Expo Line, Millenium Line, and Seabus. Travel from YVR airport to downtown (Waterfront Station) is fast, convenient and inexpensive via Skytrain on the Canada Line. Fares depend on travel times as follows: Weekdays before 6:30 PM: Purchase a 2-zone ticket ($3.75) plus the YVR add fare ($5.00). After 6:30 PM: Purchase a single-zone ticket ($2.50) plus the YVR add fare ($5.00). If you will be using transit at other times during your visit, avoid the add fare altogether by purchasing a book of fare-saver tickets. Taxi fare from YVR to downtown is about $35.00.
