How to make a three-day business trip to Vancouver count.
Three days is enough to develop a useful working picture of Vancouver if the visit has a defined purpose. The goal is not to see everything. It is to understand the city in relation to a business decision and leave with better questions, relevant relationships, and a clear next step.
The local picture
What to consider.
Day two: test the thesis
Concentrate meetings around customers, talent, operators, offices, or partners. Cluster by geography and leave time to compare what you hear.
Day three: examine the commitment
Explore the practical choices—team, location, advisors, relocation, or follow-up—and identify what must be validated after the trip.
Do not over-schedule
A visit that allows no time for movement or synthesis usually produces less clarity, not more.
