In addition, its proximity to Hilton Qu\u00e9bec and Delta Qu\u00e9bec, where delegates will stay, was another plus. The Convention Centre is also very well located to allow delegates to discover the city\u2019s main attractions, including Old Qu\u00e9bec and Grande All\u00e9e, which burgeons with reputable restaurants and bars\u2014the perfect places to unwind after a day at a conference or meeting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph component-no-padding \" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>The American Concrete Institute brings together experts in concrete from all over the world who define construction norms with respect to concrete.
