ABOUT

The countdown to the 2027 TELUS Sales Summit is on! 

This February, we’re bringing our global Sales teams together to celebrate our wins and align on what's next. Look out for an official invite, landing in your inbox soon. In the meantime, please check out the event FAQ but do not book your own travel (air or hotel) – the TELUS Events team will handle that for you during registration.

See you in February!



FAQ


All attendees will be staying at a hotel arranged by TELUS in downtown Vancouver. Specific hotel details will be shared in the weeks leading up to Sales Summit.

TELUS covers economy flights with one piece of checked luggage, hotel, transportation to and from your home airport, the shuttle service to/from/within Vancouver, and food and beverages that are part of the official program. Expenses incurred while in transit are subject to TELUS' travel expense policy. Personal expenses, including things like more than one piece of checked luggage, after-dinner drinks or a taxi from the Vancouver airport when a shuttle was available, will not be reimbursed.

Given the volume of attendees, and our commitment to managing resources responsibly, business class tickets are not permitted, and our corporate travel partner will be arranging economy travel for attendees.

Yes. If you plan to extend your trip for personal reasons, please indicate this at the time of registration, including any additional hotel nights you require. TELUS can arrange the extended hotel stay on your behalf, but you’ll need to provide a personal credit card and are responsible for any additional costs related to your personal travel. If no extension is indicated during registration, your hotel will only be reserved for your approved Summit dates.

The dress code for Sales Summit is business casual. 

Any required pre-work (if applicable) will be shared closer to the event.

At this time, we are at full capacity and unable to accommodate these requests. If you have an extenuating circumstance or business-impacting request, please contact your business unit prime.

If you are no longer able to attend, please advise your BU prime and email telus2027@getvfairs.io as soon as possible to cancel your registration.

Team members will be staying at one of seven hotel properties: Fairmont Waterfront, Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, Fairmont Pacific Rim, Sheraton Wall Centre, Hyatt Regency Vancouver, Pan Pacific Hotel and Marriott Pinnacle. 

Check-in is at 4 pm, and check out is at 11 am. When you arrive at the airport in Vancouver you will receive a personalized luggage tag that indicates your name and the hotel you are staying at. If you arrive at your hotel before 4 pm, your luggage will be stored and delivered to your room when it’s ready.

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate requests to change hotels. We have selected some of the best hotels in Vancouver to host team members and are confident you’ll be pleased with your accommodations.

We will have a continuous shuttle running from each of these hotels to the Vancouver Convention Centre.

 Alternatively, Fairmont Hotel Vancouver is a 12-15 minute walk to the Vancouver Convention Centre, and the Sheraton Wall Centre is a 20 minute walk to the Vancouver Convention Centre. Please refer to Google maps for directions.

Yes - if your leader has approved to extend your stay for business purposes, the TELUS Sales Summit Events team will book your accommodations for the additional approved travel dates.

Team members are expected to travel on the pre-arranged shuttle buses. If you miss any of the scheduled shuttles, you will be responsible for securing and covering the cost of transportation to/from the Vancouver airport.
