Former US President Barack Obama coming to Vancouver this spring

Barack Obama will be landing in YVR this March for special event hosted by the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade.

“At this moment in history, President Obama is quite possibly the most coveted speaker in the world. Repeatedly, his name has topped our Member surveys as the individual that B.C. business leaders most want to hear from. For those reasons — and many more — we are ecstatic to welcome President Obama to our city on March 5,” said Lori Mathison, 2018-19 Chair of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade.

“It is an honour for our organization to host one of the most respected world leaders in recent history, in light of his lifelong dedication to principled diplomacy and creating a more equal society,” added Hon. Iain Black, President and CEO of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade.

Tickets go on sale to Members of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade on Jan. 25 at 10 am. If tickets remain following member pre-sale, public tickets will go on sale Feb. 1 at 10 am.
