CONFERENCE VENUE
Fairmont Le Château Frontenac is the venue for the conference and most conference events. It is a magnificent turn-of the century building in old Québec near the Parliament Buildings. With its superior meeting facilities and a distinctive European charm, the hotel – set high on a bluff overlooking the mighty St. Lawrence River and above the historic lower town – permits easy walking access to many of the exceptional sites and experiences that Québec City has to offer.
