Meetings that do not fall under this category are internal/staff meetings where only company staff are participating (whether attending the Conference or not).

Host Venue
The JW Marriott Parq Vancouver is a contemporary, full-service hotel located in downtown Vancouver, offering refined accommodation and state-of-the-art meeting and event facilities. Situated within the Parq Vancouver complex, the hotel’s integrated conference facilities and central location make it an ideal setting for hosting international medical meetings and fostering professional exchange.
Compliance with Innovative Medicines Canada
The JW Marriott Parq Vancouver is part of the Parq Vancouver complex, which includes a casino. The hotel is not “primarily known as a casino” and as such, it does not contravene paragraph 6.2.3 of the Innovative Medicines Canada Code of Ethical Practices. Furthermore, the following steps have been taken to mitigate the existence of the casino near the venue:
- The general manager has provided assurance in a letter and in the contract that there will be no casino promotion in any of our guest rooms and/or meeting spaces.
- The hotel has committed to removing all signage and promotions about the casino within the walls of the hotel and Conference Centre during our stay.
- The hotel will block off or redirect people from accessing the casino through the lobby.
