A business conference… only different
Practical advice and work tools will advance the themes of C2-MTL with the objective of completely reinventing the conference experience through non-traditional means, including special segments from creative partner Cirque du Soleil, immersive exhibitions, a creativity "bootcamp", custom talks, multimedia conferences and experientially-oriented workshops designed to fire the imagination. It will all take place in a specially-constructed "innovation village" set in and around the historic and refurbished 19th century New City Gas complex, featuring a fascinating range of interactive installations.
"Expect to be surprised," warns Cirque du Soleil CEO Daniel Lamarre.
Additionally, all attendees will be able to avail themselves of a host of interactive tools and resources, including an interactive mobile application designed exclusively for C2-MTL, which will allow an on-site editorial team to organize and customize conference content in real time and provide each participant with personalized daily digests of the previous day's talks, events and activities.
Needless to say participants should also expect world-class entertainment, including mind-blowing evening festivities, gourmet experiences and performances showcasing the city's creative lifeblood.
After all, this is Montreal.
