Located in the heart of Griffintown, this heritage building has become one of today’s hottest destinations. Originally built in 1859, the New City Gas complex was once used to convert coal into gas for lighting Montreal’s streets and buildings. The venue offers a unique combination of historic character and contemporary design. What was once an energy source for the city’s lights now shines as a vibrant presence in Montreal’s nightlife scene.

Tickets for the above events can be purchased when registering online for the congress. If you have already registered, please send an email.
