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.

Accommodation and meals are included in all tickets.
Spots are limited. Tickets on sale now.
