Location Details

Bryght Offices

The Bryght Offices are located at 1 Alexander Street, Suite 400 in Gastown. [Map]
There's a security intercom at the door, so you'll need to buzz to get in.

Kid's Room

In recognition of people with families the Bryght conference room is available as a kids room. It is next to the presentation area and has glass walls so your kids will always be in sight. We can't provide child-minding or babysitting services - we just provide the room and leave it to you to entertain your kids. We suggest you bring appropriate toys/books/other entertainment.
