Conference Venues & Accessibility

All conference activities will take place at various historic and cultural sites in downtown Kamloops and on the T’kemlúps Reserve. We recommend booking your stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton, as transportation for offsite events will depart directly from the hotel lobby.

Please note that walking short distances (100–500 meters) will be required between venues. We recommend wearing comfortable footwear to ensure ease of movement.
