Looking to make the most of your time in the host city? On Tuesday, October 6, ECCE 2026 attendees are invited to take part in exclusive technical tours that highlight both Vancouver’s natural beauty and world-leading clean energy innovation.

Each tour requires advance registration at a cost of $75 per person for Grouse Mountain and $55 per person for Powertech Labs, which includes transportation. Capacity is limited, and spaces will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. These outings provide a valuable opportunity to experience Vancouver while connecting with fellow ECCE attendees outside of the technical program.

Please note that tours must be added to your conference registration. We encourage you to reserve your spot early as availability is expected to fill quickly.
