Why is OTTAWA our choice this year?
Centrally located with excellent air and transportation links and buoyed by Canada's thriving economy, the city of Ottawa is a truly one of North America's hidden gems and a Premier Canadian Meeting and Convention Destination.
Impressive yet intimate, rich in natural beauty and blessed with a relaxed urban rhythm, delegates frequently arrive early, stay after their event, and often bring along their spouses to enjoy everything Canada's Capital has to offer. With stunning views of Parliament Hill and an easy walk to famous landmarks, national museums and major attractions, the Ottawa Convention Centre is situated on the banks of the historic Rideau Canal in the heart of downtown Ottawa.
Conveniently linked to the 496-room Westin Hotel (where you will stay) and the 180-store Rideau Centre shopping complex, the Convention Centre is only minutes from the world renowned ByWard Market; home to unique cultural celebrations and countless specialty shops, bistros and upscale restaurants - but certainly more famous for an impressive selection of outstanding nightlife! From authentic Irish taverns and live jazz bars to Indi-rock venues and alternative dance clubs, the ByWard Market has it all, and ALL within walking distance of the Convention Centre and your Hotel, still just 20 minutes from the Ottawa International Airport.
Impressive indeed!
