The Franchise Expo Vancouver 2027 — Where to Stay Downtown

The Franchise Expo lands at the Vancouver Convention Centre on April 10-11, 2027, bringing together Western Canada's largest gathering of franchise brands, business opportunities and independent entrepreneurs under one roof. Exhibitors range from fast-growing food and retail concepts to service, fitness and B2B franchises, with investment levels for every budget. Over two days, visitors can compare full-time and part-time ownership options side by side, ask direct questions to franchisors and industry suppliers, and attend free seminars on financing, legal structuring, government assistance programs and how to franchise an existing business. It is the fastest way to compress months of research into a single weekend. Whether you are a first-time buyer exploring self-employment or an investor adding a proven concept to your portfolio, the show is built for face-to-face conversations in a no-pressure environment. Located on the Vancouver waterfront, the venue is a short walk from downtown hotels, SkyTrain and the Canada Place cruise terminal.
