The knowledge and experience about the city that Discover Halifax has…they could answer the questions for me.
A great meeting is focused, organized, and makes the most of everyone’s time. In Halifax, all three are a given. Halifax is a compact, historic, and walkable city, with hotels, meeting spaces, and entertainment options all conveniently located near each other. In fact, over 5,000 hotel rooms are within a ten-minute walk of the Halifax Convention Centre, our premier convention destination. Plus, many of our central hotels have magnificent meeting facilities of their own.
Halifax is a sustainability-focused destination, offering walkable downtown venues, eco-certified hotels, and locally sourced cuisine to reduce environmental impact. With a LEED-certified convention centre, green transportation options, and strong community partnerships, Halifax makes it easy to host events that are both impactful and responsible.
When the meeting is adjourned, the experience is far from over. With the city’s best dining and nightlife at your doorstep, post-meeting meet-ups are an ocean breeze. Delegates can stroll our charming waterfront with a coffee to unwind; do a little shopping; join coworkers for dinner— and maybe a little live music—at one of our many “be seen at” restaurants. Relax and recap the day’s meeting or be swept away by Halifax's cultural current.
You can count on the local expertise to enhance your meeting. Whatever sector your organization is a part of, in Halifax we have the expertise to match and Discover Halifax can help you find them. For example, some tech industries we're especially well known for in Halifax; Oceans, Life Sciences, Aerospace and Defense.
Finding the right spaces is a very visual task, we get that. So whatever you’d like a closer look at—hotels, hotel rooms, meeting and convention spaces, even restaurants and other venues— we’d like to show you. There may be an existing 3D virtual tour of the spaces you’re interested in. If not, we can create one for you. These aren’t just videos, by the way, but full property scans and walkthroughs that you control. It’s like you’re here already. Can you taste the lobsters waiting for you?
