Palais des congrès de Montréal
The Palais des congrès de Montréal is a convention center located in Montreal’s Quartier international at the northern edge of Old Montreal, within the Ville-Marie borough. Construction started in 1977, and the center officially opened on May 21, 1983, with the original design by Victor Prus.
Place-d'Armes station, connected by an underground link, provides direct access to the Palais. Part of the land for the convention center was expropriated from Montreal’s Chinatown, along with the development of Complexe Guy-Favreau. Expansion plans were initiated in 1997, and from 1999 to 2002, the Palais underwent a major expansion, doubling its capacity from 92,000 square meters (990,000 sq ft) to 184,000 square meters (1,980,000 sq ft). The expansion was designed by a consortium of three firms: Tétrault Parent Languedoc, Saia Barbarese Topouzanov, and Aedifica, with Hal Ingberg.
In 2022, the Palais hosted the United Nations Biodiversity Conference, which resulted in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
