Intimate Locations
Boasting a spectacular setting at the base of Blackcomb Mountain, Fairmont Chateau Whistler combines classic elegance with modern alpine style and full resort facilities. Discover the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure in every season, from poolside lounging to exploring the epic slopes of Whistler Blackcomb.

If Whistler's myriad activities have you wondering where to start, let our Experience Guides introduce you to the best of the area, including off-the-beaten-track ski runs and hikes to secluded beauty spots. Back at the hotel, The Mallard Lounge is a casual, cozy setting for finely crafted cocktails or local draft beer. After you’ve spent the day immersed in breathtaking landscapes, our Whistler luxury hotel’s tasteful rooms and suites keep you connected to the natural surroundings with woodland, village or mountain views.
Networking & Career Development Opportunities
Keystone Symposia hosts Career Roundtables at our conferences to support and train the next generation of scientific leaders. These workshops create a forum for experienced leaders to share their unique perspectives on career development, professional pitfalls, and the breadth of scientific opportunities available to support trainee scientists in an informal setting. Trainees and early-career investigators have the opportunity to interact with established researchers from a broad range of backgrounds and career paths for path-defining career development advice and networking opportunities.
“The most important message is that we all walk nonlinear paths and it is so easy to forget when we experience struggle or we look up at people in power position: it always looks so simpler on the other side…Thanks again for your investment on the trainees. Priceless investment on the present and future of science.”
–Valentina Greco, PhD, Carolyn Slayman Professor of Genetics, Yale School of Medicine
Meet-the-Editor RoundtablesMeet-the-Editor workshops – available at select meetings – foster connections between editors and scientists. Relationships forged during these events lead to publication for researchers while providing editors insight into new discoveries and cutting-edge research directions to showcase editorially. Attendees are encouraged to fast-track research insights to publication by attending the roundtables and contacting editors in attendance during the meeting. Check the full program for Meet-the-Editor events.
Health Equity ForumsHealth Equity Forums – offered at select meetings – engage conference participants in conversations that showcase how scientists are bringing molecular, cellular, and genetic approaches to bear on inclusive research design. Featured panel discussions and short talks at select Keystone Symposia meetings explore how recognizing human variation and taking patient-centered research approaches can advance precision treatment and improve health outcomes for the global population.
