Port Lecture Series – Sign up to be notified of 2025 schedule!

Our popular public lecture series is back! Engaging speakers are invited to present on a specific topic related to the Port of Vancouver USA. Each season we cover several subjects from the maritime industry to global trade, tourism and more. It’s a great way to learn more about your port and what we do for Vancouver. 

Lectures are FREE and open to the public, and are held at the Kiggins Theater, 1011 Main Street, Vancouver. Concessions are available for purchase (the popcorn is excellent!), including alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. A percentage of food sales will benefit the Fort Vancouver Seafarers Center.

Note that parking is free downtown after 6:00 p.m.

When asked if she would recommend the lectures to others, one attendee last year responded: “Yes! It’s an opportunity to see the great things happening here. You learn to appreciate how everyday lives are affected by trade and all the different work being done at the port.”
