Montréal: Life à la Montréal, Warm & Welcoming http://www.aace.org/conf/Cities/Montreal

What do you get when you combine the smarts of North America with the laid-back insouciance of Europe? 350 years of progress with the

friendly

nature of a village? High-tech and high style? You get the city of

Montréal

• an unpretentious knockout that has no idea of the effect she has on

people. Why? Because the driving force behind this unique hybrid is the Montréal mantra: Get out there and celebrate life. And, it must be

said,

life lived à la Montréal is about as sweet as it gets. From her

festivals

(Montréal is the undisputed festival capital of the world), to her incredible food, to her legendary nightlife, this city has a true

talent

for making the very most and best out of life's little pleasures.

Located about an hour from the U.S. border in south-western Québec, Montréal is the largest French-speaking city in North America. This is

not

a sprawling urban centre by North American standards, and that's part

of

Montréal's charm. No "donut" town, there is no 6 pm exodus to parts unknown. Montrealers live, work and play in a compact downtown core.

Safe,

clean and green, this city is good to her citizens and guests alike,

who

lunch and lounge on terraces for nice, long sessions of people-watching

(a

sacred Montréal ritual), stroll, hike or bike on mount Royal (a natural haven right downtown), take in the sights and sounds of Old Montréal

and

the Old Port. This is a place that understands following one's fancy.

Montréal has an international reputation for creative excellence, not

just

in the traditional arts, but in cutting-edge technology, multimedia,

sound

and film production.

Perhaps it's the Latin blood. The passion Montrealers bring to whatever they do is felt everywhere; certainly in international tours de force

like

Cirque du Soleil, La La La Human Steps, Céline Dion. But you can feel

it

too as your chef comes to ask you truly, sincerely, how you liked your crème brûlée, and to raise a glass to your health. It's warm, it's relaxing, it's fascinating, it's thrilling. It's life à la Montréal.

When summer beckons in Montréal, everyone and everything heeds her

call.

The city's many parks and squares are decked out in flowerbeds,

fountains,

greenery and cool stretches of water. Impromptu gatherings of friends

and

family animate the colourful balconies, beginning at Happy Hour or "5 à

7"

and continuing well into the warm nights. The entire island moves to

the

traffic-stopping beat of street festivals or fairs and everyone -

locals

and visitors - takes part in the scene on foot, bikes or blades.

Montréal is an ideal location for ED-MEDIA 2005, June 27-July 2, 2005.

We

look forward to seeing you there!
