How attendees reach it

12 km (7.5 mi) separates Palais des congrès de Gatineau from Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.

At 2.1 km (1.3 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.

Ottawa has 66 venues mapped in total and a population of 1,017,449. The Ottawa guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

An exhibition building is bought by the square foot, not the seat. What decides whether your show fits is column spacing, ceiling height and how many trucks can be on the dock at once, so ask Palais des congrès de Gatineau for the hall sheet rather than a capacity number.
