The Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel provides a unique hotel experience minutes from Vancouver International Airport. Located in beautiful Richmond, British Columbia, this newly-renovated, modern hotel is a refreshing destination for all your business and vacation adventures in Vancouver. Whether you are meeting clients, catching an early flight or just enjoying our Vancouver vibe, the Sheraton Vancouver Airport is the place to work, play, dine, connect and relax.For Gatecon, this is a return to our traditional roots. Our first event in 2000 was held at the now demolished Radisson in Burnaby (not due to the convention!), but we staged five of our seven other Vancouver events at The Sheraton Vancouver Airport Hotel (formerly called The Richmond Inn)
The Pool and Patio area
The Minoru Ballroom where the autographs and photo sessions will be held
Harold's Bistro & Bar
The Fitness Suite
The new ballroom, artist's impression, where our stage events will take place
If you attended one of our previous event at this hotel you may remember the Thirsty Turtle bar. Tissues at the ready, but Turtles is no more - this is where the new ballroom has been built. The hotel site has an interesting page of pictures of the new development in progress

Pet PolicyThe hotel is a dog-friendly establishment and dogs are allowed into the main convention areas provided they are on a leash at all times. However they are not permitted in rooms where food is being served, for instance at the banquet.
As organisers we have no objections to canine visitors, however we will need to be guided by any attendees who may have allergies, and if requested we may need dog owners to remove their pets from the room. Owners will also be completely liable for the behaviour of their pets at all times. The organisers cannot be held responsible for any damage to hotel property.
