The Penticton Trade & Convention Centre, located just 40 miles from the U.S. border and nestled in the heart of beautiful Okanagan Wine Country, is designed to accommodate up to 3,500 delegates in a resort setting. Easy road access and regional airport with connections from both Vancouver and Calgary is located five minutes from the Convention Centre.
The City of Penticton is building an attached sports and ice arena, the South Okanagan Event Center, scheduled to open November of 2008. The SOEC will offer up to 25,000 square feet of exhibit space when not being used for sports or ice events, in addition to the existing 54,000 square feet of flexible event space and the 443-seat lecture theatre available at the Penticton Trade & Convention Centre. |
