Trailblazing Research
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. Exceptional dining, an Ayurvedic-inspired spa, and an Audubon-certified 18-hole championship golf course are just some of the reasons we’re firmly established among the best hotels in Whistler.
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
As part of our commitment to support and train the next generation of scientific leaders from all backgrounds, Keystone Symposia hosts Career Roundtables at our conferences. These workshops create a forum for field leaders to provide their unique perspectives on career development, professional pitfalls and the breadth of scientific opportunities available to support trainee scientists. Established researchers are chosen from a broad range of backgrounds (i.e., diverse demographics, career stages and career paths) to reflect a myriad of career-paths and experiences. A panel discussion is followed by break out group sessions to enable trainees to interact with each senior scientist in a comfortable small group setting, to address specific questions, allow for mentorship and networking.
“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.”

Meet-the-Editor RoundtablesMeet-the-Editor panels are important aspects of both in-person and virtual Keystone Symposia meetings, designed to foster connections between editors and scientists. These mutually beneficial relationships help to facilitate the publication process for researchers, while providing editors insight into exciting new discoveries and research directions to showcase in upcoming journal issues. We encourage you to take advantage of this special session, and to reach out to these editors during the meeting, to get the inside scoop on fast-tracking your work for publication.
