The Evergreen 2013 conference has come and gone and we want to hear what you thought about the conference so we can help next year’s organizers in planning an even better conference experience for you. Tell us what you liked, disliked, best food and favourite made-in BC TV show. Thanks for participating in the conference and visiting our lovely city!
All the best, courtesy of your superstar Evergreen 2013 Organizing Committee:

We’re excited to see you in Vancouver for Evergreen 2013. Here’s some last minute details about the conference:
Getting from the airport to the hotel
We’ve updated the website to include local travel info.
The easiest way into town is the Canada Line, it’s quick (30 minutes) and cheap ($7.75-$8.75 depending on the time of day).
Frugal tip: Read more about buying a book of 10 fare saver tickets on Trip Advisor.
Also: the airport is beautiful.
No host lunches
On Thursday we’ve picked a bunch of places to go for lunch and have local volunteers to lead groups. If you are the type of person who likes to plan ahead, take a look at the Thursday Lunch Map.
UrbanSpoon – filter to Downtown and/or Gastown neighbourhoods, and Yelp are good places to check for reviews for places to eat and drink. Fans of microbrew should definately check out The Alibi Room.
Shirley and I will be on the @egcon2013 Twitter account, so let us know if you have any questions about Vancouver let us know.
Safe travels!
Tara and the Evergreen 2013 Organizing Committee
Evergreen 2013 in Vancouver is sold out!!! Thanks to the community for all your interest and support. More announcements coming soon.
Our Social Committee has worked hard to make sure there is as much time for socializing as conferencing. To start thing off, we will be having an Opening Reception in a fabulous room in the hotel on Wednesday evening. Thursday night is the big social event of the conference where we booked the Steamworks Brew Pub Uber Lounge in historic Gastown for an evening of hearty appetizers, craft beers, and ocean views. Friday night is your chance to explore many restaurant and pub offerings in Vancouver.
All these details, and suggestions of places to see and eat in Vancouver, are described on our Social Events page. See you in April!
