Montréal: Main Hub of the Event
Welcome to Montréal!
Bienvenue à Montréal!
Welcome to the second largest French-speaking metropolis in the world, a city where hospitality has a very French tone.
Apart from the French language, don’t be surprised to hear more than 30 languages spoken in the streets of this culturally rich and diverse city. Such is the urban mosaic of this vibrant metropolis located on an island in the St. Lawrence River. Here, the “joie de vivre” is synonymous with festivals, gastronomy, music, history, museums, tarmacs, street artists and espresso bars.
Montreal is known as the hub of creativity and innovation in the development of the arts, multimedia and software, and is a leader in scientific research.
Its four universities attract a dynamic student population. This city of culture and creativity offers its visitors a range of exciting options to choose from – dance, theatre, music, lectures, shopping, gastronomy, outdoor recreation… or simply soaking up its unique atmosphere.
