Travel to Salle Maurice-O'Bready
117 km (73 mi) to Montreal Metropolitan Airport (YHU) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
3.2 km (2 mi) out from the middle of Sherbrooke — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.

What fits in this room

- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
