Our Location

Vancouver Convention Centre

TED2023

Possibility

April 17-21, 2023

The Vancouver Convention Centre offers both scale and intimacy. At its heart is a soaring space where TED's stage designers create a custom theater designed to maximize the impact of talks, permitting multiple configurations for sitting, listening, conversations, exploration of new ideas and connecting with speakers — a bold rethinking of the conference experience.

Outside the theater, the focus is on beautiful spaces for connections, conversations and diving deeper into ideas through exhibits, workshops and experiences.
