Montreal's tradeshow scene
The Palais des Congrès de Montréal is the city's flagship convention venue and one of the busiest in Canada — host to major international meetings, federal political events, and large consumer shows. Place Bonaventure handles trade-specific events and the Stade Olympique houses some of the largest consumer expos. The city's bilingual character changes booth design priorities — French is the dominant working language for many Montreal-based businesses and a French-first booth reads as locally-rooted in a way English-only booths don't.
