The transparent and colorful glass façade of Montréal’s Convention Centre represents warmth, innovation and sustainability, greeting visitors for major events, conferences and exhibitions.
The center, known as the Palais des congrès de Montréal, was completed in 1983. That initial forward-thinking investment and upgrades over the years have made the welcoming site one of the world’s most important business destinations and the leading international convention center in the Americas. Features range from grand ballroom capability to immersive experiences and carbon-neutral events management. Visit the Palais des congrès for unforgettable events delivered with Montréal’s trademark creativity, experiential flair and knowhow.
From the Palais des congrès de Montréal, short walks bring you to numerous attractions. Certified as a sustainable destination since 2017, Montréal is a cosmopolitan city, world-renowned for its energy and trademark “joie de vivre.” Located in the middle of town is the Mount Royal, a spectacular urban green space with biodiversity and history. Just a few steps from the Palais des congrès is Chinatown, with dim sum restaurants, noodle shops and Chinese businesses.
