Getting there
109 km (68 mi) to Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) 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 Shawinigan — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.
Shawinigan has 8 venues mapped in total and a population of 49,620. The Shawinigan guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Formats this suits
This is one of 2 exhibition and convention venues mapped in Shawinigan, and the class matters more than the size: a hall is a floor you subdivide, which is a different purchase from a room you fill with chairs.
- trade shows and exhibitions
Built as a floor rather than a seating plan, which is what an exhibition needs.
- multi-track conferences
The same hall subdivides into tracks once the booths come out.
- career fairs
A booth grid and a single controlled entrance is the whole requirement.
