The hotel does have an on-site restaurant in the North Tower, but it is too small for all our attendees.

Local weather
Of course the Canadian government has a brilliant website for weather information. Here is what you need to know about this week's Vancouver weather.
We should experience quite a bit of rain. That is one of the reasons why we chose to have the conference take place indoors.
