Life sciences generate 4 conferences for Québec City

Events

The life sciences industry is booming in the Québec City area and features prominently in the economy. The city is an innovation hub brimming with expertise and development potential thanks to its key players, research centres, businesses, and investment.

This vitality is also reflected in the growing number of Canadian, American, and international organizations in this field choosing Québec City and the Québec City Convention Centre for their events. Plus, more than 30% of events held at the Québec City Convention Centre are connected to the fertile field of life sciences.

In December 2017, the Québec City Convention Centre confirmed four new major life sciences conferences. Together, these events should generate almost $5 million in economic spinoffs for Québec.
