Don’t miss your chance! VIP tickets selling fast for PacificWest 2025
If you’re thinking of getting a VIP ticket to this year’s PacificWest conference, don’t wait.
Over 100 VIP tickets have already been scooped up, and we're on track to sell out.
The VIP pass gets you much more than just a seat. You’ll enjoy:
- Front-of-room seating for keynote and feature sessions
- Express check-in (skip the line)
- Drink tickets and signature swag
- Exclusive discounts on pre-conference experiences and add-ons (like the PacificWest Managing Brokers Summit on October 20)
Until June 30, you can grab a VIP ticket at the Insider Price: $350 (regular $500). But once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Group registration offer
We offer group discounts in addition to our early bird pricing. If you register 10 or more attendees at once, we’ll take 20 per cent off the final total.
To simplify things, we’ve created an Excel form for you – just fill out all of the yellow-highlighted columns and send it to info@pacificwest.ca. Once we receive it, we will register your list. They will then receive an email from PacificWest with instructions on how to pay the amount owing for their tickets.
