ICNC 2027 / Abstracts & Registration

Accommodation

Rooms for participants are reserved at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, on the conference campus, at a conference rate of CAD 349 per night — roughly 30–50% cheaper than comparable hotels in the town of Banff in June, which is peak season. The number of rooms in the conference block is limited, so we recommend booking early. The booking link will be published on this page.

Good to know

  • Two-bed rooms can accommodate up to four guests.
  • Banff Centre is a pet-free facility.
  • Rooms are a few minutes' walk from the Kinnear Centre, where the sessions take place. Breakfast and lunch on June 2–4 are included for delegates staying at Banff Centre within the ICNC 2027 room block; delegates staying elsewhere arrange their own breakfast and lunch (coffee breaks are included for everyone).

In the town of Banff

Hotels in town are about 15 to 30 minutes on foot from Banff Centre, or a short bus or taxi ride. Because June is peak season in Banff, hotel rates in town are usually much higher — conference rooms at Banff Centre are roughly 30–50% cheaper than comparable hotels in town — and the number of rooms in the conference block is limited, so book at Banff Centre early. Examples in town, closest first:
