Web Directions North » About Vancouver

A modern North American city, well serviced by flights from all over the continent and beyond, Vancouver is also very affordable and accessible, with some of the world’s best winter sports, and most spectacular scenery close by. If you are thinking that Vancouver is too far to visit, or too expensive, check out some flights, hotels, and the cost of living (and remember that the conference is fully catered, with receptions and parties too), and you’ll be surprised at what great value Web Directions would be.

Surrounded on three sides by water, and with the dramatic Coast Mountain Range as a backdrop, Vancouver is consistently considered one of the most beautiful, livable cities in the world. In fact, the esteemed Economist Magazine recently named Vancouver as the world’s most livable city.

Hosts of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, Vancouver is home to a diversity of communities, a true Pacific Rim city, featuring fantastic affordable cuisine, breathtaking scenery, vibrant streetscapes, fascinating sight-seeing, and of course world class snow sports on its doorstep. And if you are coming in from another country, the Canadian dollar makes a trip to Vancouver very affordable.

So Web Directions doesn’t just give you the chance to see the best speakers in the world in your industry, and the chance to meet and get to know others in the industry better, we give you the chance to spend a couple of days in this beautiful city, complete with a great value trip to the future Olympic slopes of Blackcomb/Whistler.
