About the summit
Canada’s only sauna industry gathering returns for its second year.
​
From January 15–18, 2026, the West Coast Sauna Summit brings together sauna lovers, builders, entrepreneurs, operators, wellness practitioners, and hospitality leaders for a weekend of heat, connection, and momentum.
​
Hosted at the lakeside Loon Lake Lodge in the UBC Malcolm Knapp Research Forest, WCSS is a fully immersive retreat: wood-fired saunas, cold plunges, panels, skillshares, forest walks, fireside hangs, and good food—shared with good people.
​
This is where the future of sauna in North America is being shaped.
Accommodation and meals are included in all tickets.
