Meetings Imitate Art




On a recent site visit to Quebec City my client and I visited the Musée National des Beaux Arts du Québec (MNBAQ) and Musée de la Civilisation as off-site options for up to 400 people. Both venues have undergone recent renovations, and offer a wide range of options and experiences for groups - including access to galleries to interactive exhibits.

The popular "old jail" section of MNBAQ



If you hold your meeting during the AMAZING Festival d'été de Québec your group will have access to dozens of performances on outdoor stages throughout the downtown, and on the Plains of Abraham.




The Centre des Congrès de Québec added additional exhibit space a few years ago, and is connected by indoor passageways to both the Quebec Hilton and the Delta Quebec



An exceedingly walkable city, you never know when you're going to happen upon a piece of art, or performance.

Physical comedy and acrobatics entertain kids of all ages in the shadow of the famous "castle" (Chateau Frontenac), under an almost-full moon, with Salvador Dali's elephant sculpture in the background #dalielephant  

A HUGE "Merci" to Quebec Region's Meetings & Conventions bureau for facilitating our trip, and for all they do to partner with meeting professionals to bring successful and productive business events to their destination.
