FAQs
Is there a discount if I’d like to bring a friend or colleague?

There sure is! In 2026, we’re encouraging returning attendees to invite a colleague or friend to IMPACT. If you know someone who hasn’t attended IMPACT in the past, give them the discount code 26NEWREG and they can register for a 10% discount.

Give someone the opportunity to join the conversation! If you have any questions or your colleague or friend encounters any difficulties in registering using this code, please reach out to registations@impactnational.ca.

I have registered but have not received a confirmation – What do I do?

Do I have to stay in one of the hotels listed on the website?

While we encourage delegates to choose one of our partner hotels, we are a destination blessed with many accommodation choices and you are welcome to explore all options.

What is the Day of IMPACT and why is there an extra charge?

The Day of IMPACT was created to provide delegates with a hands-on opportunity to experience Southern Vancouver Island and Victoria — and the destination’s own journey towards greater sustainability and resiliency in tourism. Due to the amount of coordination that goes into creating a day that provides real value for delegates including transportation and food costs, we provide this as a separate, add-on event. We also understand that not everyone can include an extra day so by separating it out of the conference program we help keep registration fees more affordable.

I would like my destination to host an IMPACT Event Series in the future, how do I apply?

Please refer to information regarding our IMPACT Event Series.
