2011 Financial Ombudsman Conference

The 2011 Conference of the International Network of Financial Services Ombudsman Schemes (INFO 2011) will take place at the Coast Coal Harbour Hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from September 19-22, 2011. Canada’s Ombudsman for Banking Services and Investments (OBSI) is serving as host organizer for the event, and hopes to build on the tremendous success of the INFO 2010 conference that took place in Cape Town, South Africa.

Majestic mountains, sparkling ocean, rainforests and beautiful foliage all four seasons make Vancouver one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and are a big reason why Vancouver was selected as host for the XXI Olympic Winter Games, along with Whistler, British Columbia.

Exceptional public transportation is overshadowed slightly by the convenience of Vancouver as a great walking city - clean, green, safe, and easily accessible. Catering to any interest, you can enjoy world class shopping, gourmet meals, outstanding live entertainment, sporting events, theatre, outdoor adventure, spectacular sights and attractions. Situated on the Pacific coast of Canada, Vancouver also offers quick and easy access to Whistler Resort, the Canadian Rockies, and Vancouver Island.

Located in the heart of downtown Vancouver and overlooking the water, the Coast Coal Harbour Hotel combines city sophistication with West Coast comfort. It's fresh, it's modern, and it has Vancouver at its doorstep with the best of everything the city has to offer: places like Stanley Park, the Vancouver Art Gallery, and trendy shopping districts.  To book your hotel room, and qualify for the special conference rates, please visit http://coastpromos.com/INFO2011.

In addition to the main conference, an extra professional development day is being held in Whistler, British Columbia on September 23, 2011. Originally designed to be a focal point for visitors, featuring direct pedestrian access to Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, Whistler Village quickly grew to be a central hub for the thriving community as well, showcasing West Coast architecture, quaint alpine atmosphere and spectacular mountain views all around.

Vancouver International Airport has consistently been rated as a top North American airport and provides easy access from all over the world.
