Conference Venue
Montréal, Québec, Canada
Considered Canada’s cultural capital, Montréal is one of North America’s most uniquely beautiful cities. Many visitors to the city feel it is perhaps one of the safest, most vibrant and innovative urban centres they’ve ever been to, with an exciting array of multi-cultural events, Arts and culinary adventures.
The Conference will be held at the distinguished Hyatt Regency Hotel, situated in the strategically located Complexe Desjardins, the best setting in town to take in the amazing diversity of the city’s festival season. The Hyatt faces Place des Arts, one of Canada’s major cultural hubs, and overlooks Montreal’s main festival area in the heart of the entertainment district, so you are only minutes away from the not-to-be-missed cultural action. The chic and contemporary hotel offers direct underground access to the Complexe Desjardins shopping concourse, Palais des Congrès convention center, as well as Chinatown, Old Montreal, Place des Arts, and the Métro subway system.
Four Iconic Montréal Landmarks
Mount Royal Park
The jewel of Montreal’s city parks is, without question, Mount Royal. First scaled by Jacques Cartier in 1535, this 200-hectare park occupies part of the mountain that lies in the midst of Montreal island, and includes the highest spot in the city (234m).
Old Montréal
Old Montréal is the oldest section of the city, with some structures dating back to New France. Here you can walk the cobblestone streets lined with artists and artisans displaying their wares, or visit the magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral in Place d’Armes, and thentake a stroll along the Old Port, after dining at one of the fine bistros and restaurants that dot the area.
The Biosphere
This architectural masterpiece, designed by noted American architect Buckminster Fuller, was built as the US pavilion for Expo 67. It now houses educational exhibitions focussed on environmental issues such as air, water, biodiversity, climate change, sustainable development, and the like.

Saint Joseph’s Oratory
The oratory is a Roman Catholic minor basilica and national shrine dedicated to Saint Joseph, to whom Brother André (Saint André Bessette, C.S.C) credited all his reported miracles. A reliquary in the church museum contains Brother André’s heart, which he requested as a protection for the basilica. Every year the oratory welcomes over two million visitors.
