About

Ottawa puts your event on a national stage — and surrounds it with experiences you won’t find anywhere else. As Canada’s capital, the city offers direct access to national decision-makers, embassies, and thought leaders across cleantech, health sciences, engineering, defence, and beyond. Whether you’re planning a global summit or an intimate leadership retreat, Ottawa connects you with the people and perspectives that matter. What sets Ottawa apart: - One of North America’s highest concentrations of tech talent - Proximity to national institutions, policymakers, and R&D hubs - Home to 400+ national associations - A compact, walkable downtown just 15 minutes from the airport - Bilingual and globally minded, yet rooted in authentic local culture Here, your attendees can network over cocktails beneath towering totem poles, dine alongside dinosaur fossils, or skate the world’s largest rink — all steps from their hotel. The award-winning Rogers Centre, overlooking the UNESCO-listed Rideau Canal, anchors the city’s meeting district and connects directly to the Westin Ottawa and CF Rideau Centre. With over 6,000 hotel rooms nearby and a new light rail system linking the city, everything — and everyone — is within reach.
