Every venue mapped in Montréal appears above. The ones with enough published detail to be worth reading have their own guide and are linked; the rest are named here, which is honest about what the record holds without giving each of them a page made of three facts.
Convention and exhibition space
One venue in Montréal is classified as exhibition or convention space.
- Palais des congrès de Montréalsize not published
Capacities are the figure the venue or an encyclopaedia entry published. They are usually the seated maximum, and the same room in banquet or reception layout can differ by half. Confirm the layout you want before you plan around a number.
Arrival logistics
Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL) is 13 km (8.1 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Local time is Toronto time (America/Toronto) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.
Saint-Michel, Longueuil and Laval are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Montréal has nothing free on your dates.

Shows that return every year
Montréal already carries Montreal First Peoples Festival, MUTEK, Libre Graphics Meeting or 25th International Conference on World Wide Web on a recurring basis, which tells you the city can absorb an event of that shape.

Recorded in Wikidata, which covers event series with an encyclopaedia entry. It is a floor rather than a full calendar for Montréal, and it is not a listing service — check dates with the organiser.
What to check before you commit
Choice is not the constraint here
With 152 venues mapped, availability rarely fails. What fails is comparison: shortlist on capacity and distance from the airport first, and only then start touring.
Check the city calendar first
Montréal carries recurring shows including Montreal First Peoples Festival, MUTEK and Libre Graphics Meeting. Hotel rates and venue availability move sharply around them, so pick your dates against that calendar rather than against your own.
What event67 costs for a Montréal event
A Montréal programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to Olympic Stadium, the largest stated capacity in the Montréal dataset — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
- activated attendees
- 950activated attendees
- billable, after the first 50 are free
- 900billable, after the first 50 are free
- for the whole event, at CA$7 each
- CA$6,300for the whole event, at CA$7 each
You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in Montréal does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
By event type
With a stated ceiling of 45,757 seats, Montréal can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.
- trade shows and exhibitions
1 exhibition or convention hall means a booth plan is possible in Montréal without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
A 45,757-seat room carries a plenary with breakouts running alongside it.
- association annual meetings
An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination Montréal is set up for.
- festivals
An arena or stadium floor at 45,757 takes an audience no conference venue in Montréal can.
- sports tournaments
The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.

Does Montréal have a convention centre?

Beyond that it is CA$7 per activated attendee beyond the first 50, and the total for one event stops at CA$6,650 however many more attend. Activated means the person claimed their invite and opened the app. Not when you import them, not when the invite is delivered, and not if they register and stay home.
What events already happen in Montréal?
