The who, what, and why of an event are usually clear.

The where often feels like logistics — an address, a capacity, a line item in the budget.

But in today’s working world — increasingly digital, fast-moving, and ephemeral — asking people to gather in person carries weight. And the space you choose becomes part of the message.

Whether you’re hosting a corporate event, leadership retreat, wedding, fundraiser, product launch, or private celebration, your venue does more than hold people. It communicates.

A historic event venue in downtown Vancouver tells a different story than a hotel boardroom or a convention hall.

Architectural details.
Original character.
Natural light across restored white oak floors.
A sense of permanence in a culture of constant scrolling.

A thoughtfully chosen space signals intention. It shapes tone. It influences how people listen, connect, and remember.

At The Permanent, we see it every day — when guests walk into a restored 1907 heritage building. The room speaks before anyone steps to the podium or takes their seat at the table.

In-person gatherings matter more than ever. And where you host them matters just as much.

If you're planning your next corporate event, wedding, or private celebration in Vancouver, consider what your “where” is saying.

Let’s make it meaningful.
