Every venue mapped in Québec 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.
Where an exhibition fits
One venue in Québec is classified as exhibition or convention space.
- Centre des congrès de Québec231,424 sq ft footprint
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.
How people reach Québec
Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) is 13 km (8.1 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.
Québec keeps Toronto time (America/Toronto), which matters most for the remote speakers you are dialling in.
Lévis, Trois-Rivières and Shawinigan are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if Québec has nothing free on your dates.

Who else books Québec
World Forestry Congress, Festival d'été de Québec, Quebec Conference and Twenty-Eighth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence come back to Québec. A returning show is the best evidence a place has the rooms, the hotel stock and the airlift to carry one.

Things that catch organizers out here
Choice is not the constraint here
With 52 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
Québec carries recurring shows including World Forestry Congress, Festival d'été de Québec and Quebec Conference. Hotel rates and venue availability move sharply around them, so pick your dates against that calendar rather than against your own.
A worked example, sized to Québec
Suppose 950 attendees claim their invite and open the app at a Québec event sized to Centre Vidéotron, the largest stated capacity in the Québec dataset. Here is exactly what event67 charges, with the free 50 taken off the top.
- 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 Québec does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.
Which kind of event this suits
With a stated ceiling of 20,014 seats, Québec 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 Québec without renting a marquee.
- multi-track conferences
A 20,014-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 Québec is set up for.
- festivals
An arena or stadium floor at 20,014 takes an audience no conference venue in Québec can.
- sports tournaments
The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.
