The Québec City Convention Centre’s International Sales Manager Jocelyn Guertin took them on a grand tour of the Convention Centre facilities and reception areas for social events, nearby hotels, and major tourist attractions in the region. The quality of the proposal and Québec City’s standing as a top Canadian convention destination tipped the scales in its favor.
