Travel to Centre Bell
Allow half an hour each way to Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL), 14 km (8.7 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.
At 2 km (1.2 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.
Montréal has 152 venues mapped in total and a population of 1,762,949. The Montréal guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
What fits in this room
A room this size is a plenary and nothing else. Keynotes, awards and general sessions work; the breakouts, the exhibition and the catering all have to happen somewhere else, so the venue is really the anchor of a campus rather than the whole event.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 21,273 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
