The University of British Columbia sits on a peninsula cocooned by the Pacific Spirit Park and looks over the Georgia Straight and the Gulf Islands. Our venue, the Nest, is a LEED Platinum Certified building with stunning architecture and an abundance of food, shopping, and event space sitting on the eastern edge of the UBC campus. It’s the perfect location for our True North Dreamin 2025 conference.

UBC has a number of great attractions, including the Nitobe Gardens, Botanical Gardens, Beatty Biodiversity Museum, Museum of Anthropology, and stunning views and architecture.

For those looking to stay close to the event, UBC Gage Residences may have some availability for April 23-25th, 2025. Unfortunately, rooms at our preferred rate have sold out. However, you can still book rooms at their current rack rate.

For those looking to stay closer to downtown, we’ve also secured special rates at Holiday Inn Vancouver Centre, which is only a 16 minute drive away. Make sure to book early, as there is limited space.

We’re so excited to bring True North Dreamin to the west this year, and with this unique group of Community members, we’re sure to have a great time!
