Convention Travel

Imagine, you sit down to an awards dinner and it's in your honour! You've been chosen as the best meeting planner on the continent. All because you took the initiative and booked Halifax.

Halifax. The City that touches your soul. It's always been an international destination for meetings, conventions, special events and incentive travel - you knew that. You'd had the time of your life on an incentive trip here - on that trip you learned to race a sailboat that participated in the prestigious Marblehead race, you walked the harbourfront boardwalk in the footsteps of privateers and you ate the most delicious lobster fresh from the sea.

Then you found out the world's political and business leaders meet here in excellent facilities just a stone's throw from the sailboats and tall ships that cruise the harbour. You realized Halifax regularly hosts top international, national, and regional events. You knew Halifax was the place to be for your convention, or for that matter any meeting or convention, no matter the size. You went home and said, "If you haven't been to Halifax, you've missed out".

With convenient connections by air, land and sea to major travel hubs world wide, it's easier for your group to meet in Halifax, Nova Scotia than you might think! Halifax is geographically closer to Boston and New York than any other Canadian city and over one hour closer to Europe than any other major North American city.

It's not just traditional meeting facilities that you'll find here. You could have your banquet in the Halifax Citadel National Historic Site (one of the most visited national historic site in Canada), with guests attired in period costume. Take your meeting to the water on a sailboat or tall ship. Or you could find a rural retreat minutes from the heart of the city just perfect for your meeting or convention.
