Kamloops: Easy to Get To – Far Enough to Focus
When it comes to choosing the right location for a conference, convention, AGM, or business meeting, really ANY business event - the setting can make or break the experience.
Event organizers want somewhere that encourages focus and connection without the background noise of city chaos but also somewhere with enough modern amenities to keep things comfortable.
Welcome to Kamloops, a hidden gem that strikes that perfect balance. It’s easy enough to get to, yet far enough removed from the daily distractions of a big city. And that’s exactly what makes it ideal.
The Sweet Spot Between Accessibility and Escape
Kamloops is centrally located in southern British Columbia, making it an easy destination from most major Western Canadian cities. Flights from Calgary, Edmonton (seasonal), and Vancouver get you here in under an hour. And for those who prefer the road, Kamloops sits at the junction of several major highways, including the Trans-Canada (Hwy 1), Coquihalla (Hwy 5), and Hwy 97.
So yes, it’s easy to reach. But even better: once you’re here, you feel like you’ve actually arrived somewhere.

Urban Comfort Meets Natural Calm
Kamloops is a fully modern city, complete with high-quality accommodations, excellent dining, and robust sporting infrastructure. From university auditoriums to boutique hotels to full-service conference venues, this city is equipped to host events of all sizes.
And when the day is done, Kamloops gives you something else cities can’t: access to nature that’s practically at your doorstep.
Want to hike through sage-covered hills? Paddle a quiet lake? Sip local wine while overlooking the valley? In Kamloops, you can. And unlike Vancouver or Calgary, you don’t have to fight traffic or crowds to do it.

Perfect for Productivity, Connection, and Creativity
In an age where everyone is chronically distracted, the best gift you can give your team or delegates is a place where they can focus. Not just on their tasks, but on each other, on big ideas, and on fresh thinking.
Plus, you can get anywhere in the city in just 15 minutes, saving time, expense, and frustration.
The Best of Both Worlds
Kamloops offers the best of both worlds. It’s not so far-flung that it becomes a logistical challenge, but it’s far enough removed to feel like a true escape. You can get here easily, and once you’re here, you can let go of the noise and lean into what matters.
