This event was the Convention Centre\u2019s very first when it opened in 1996, and 25 years later, it marks the relaunch of major events in Qu\u00e9bec City. The 2021 edition, organized in close collaboration with the Province of Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s health authority, required hard work over several months and proved to be a success.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"item wysiwyg component-heading component-no-padding \" ><div class=\"container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anything but conventional support<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph component-no-padding \" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>At the beginning of the pandemic, the Convention Centre was quick to equip itself with a\u00a0health measures guide\u00a0to ensure everyone\u2019s safety. At the same time, in order to closely follow the development of the situation, staff members quickly familiarized themselves with all the rules to follow in order to provide guests with the best possible support for their events.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph component-no-padding \" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>It was in June 2021 when the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise des municipalit\u00e9s formalized its decision to hold its annual convention at the Centre. The provincial government relaxed some of the restrictions over the summer to allow events for up to 250 people. After the 2020 edition\u2019s cancellation, FQM participants and delegates were eager to meet in person.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph component-no-padding \" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p><em>\u201cThe health guidelines have changed a lot, and positively so, in the time between signing the contract and the event, which enabled us to develop a concept that could accommodate as many people as possible while complying with the Province of Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s health authority,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;said Ms. Caroline B\u00e9rub\u00e9, Customer Care Director at the Convention Centre.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"item wysiwyg component-media-text\"><div class=\"container\" >\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.convention.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FQM-2021-bulles-parcours-corridor-public-1-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7589 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.convention.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FQM-2021-bulles-parcours-corridor-public-1-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.convention.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FQM-2021-bulles-parcours-corridor-public-1-1024x683-1-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.convention.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FQM-2021-bulles-parcours-corridor-public-1-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.convention.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/FQM-2021-bulles-parcours-corridor-public-1-1024x683-1-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><div  class=\"item wysiwyg component-paragraph component-no-padding \" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>The FQM opted for an event in which participants would be separated into three \u201cbubbles\u201d of 250 people.
