This is a convention center in downtown Montreal, next to Westin and Intercontinental hotels. However, it is accessible by Metro train. So, if you are attending a conference here on a budget, it makes sense to stay a bit farther and commute via the metro rail.

Visited the Montreal RV Show at this venue. Everything was fantastic! From parking, to signage, to plenty of service staff, and plenty of bathrooms it was all there. We spent 9 hours at the show to complete all the kiosks. It’s a large place! And plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. I will definitely go back to another show here!
