Travel, lodging and practical tips
River Rock Casino Resort is steps from Richmond-Brighouse SkyTrain station, which makes transit from Vancouver convenient. Plan to book nearby rooms early since conference weekends sell out. Bring a small pouch for essentials while walking the meeting spaces, and pack a light layer for bay breezes between venues.
Programs, speaker lineups and session times are updated periodically. Check the Boating BC conference page the week before travel for the final agenda, speaker bios, and exhibitor lists.
