Things To Do in Vancouver While at ARIN XXIX
Our ARIN XXIX Public Policy and Members Meeting in Vancouver is only weeks away, and we can’t wait! This year’s event promises to be chock-full of opportunities to network with individuals from across the ARIN region, reconnect with peers and make new friends. We will be doing a lot of serious work to help shape the future of the Internet (just look at our full agenda for ARIN XXIX!), but we’ll also have some time for attendees to get to know each other outside of the meeting doors. Here’s a rundown of the official social activities on the agenda.

When: Sunday, 22 April from 5:00 - 6:30pm

For those of you who might find free time for sightseeing or plan to extend your stay, there are plenty of additional options to make the most of your time in Vancouver.
-
Stanley Park : Home to the Vancouver Aquarium, this park has more than dolphins, sea lions and beluga whales; walk along its famous seawall for scenic ocean and city views or take a hike through the woods without ever leaving the city.
-
Capuano Suspension Bridge: Located in nearby North Vancouver, this bridge offers a one-of-a-kind treetop adventure.
-
Downtown Vancouver: Robson Street and Gastown offer world-class shopping, restaurants and nightlife and Granville Island hosts a public market seven days a week.
-
Museums: The Vancouver Art Gallery and the University of British Columbia’s Museum of Anthropology, which is renowned for its collection of First Nation’s art and artifacts, make for a wonderful cultural experience.
