Dear America,
If ever there was a time to gather up your team, hold a meeting and host an event in Montreal, 2016 is it.
I think the screenshot from today’s FX rate pretty much sums it up.
In Canada (Donald Trump’s views notwithstanding) we are not so different from America. Except everything is much cheaper. Venues, staffing, catering, and going out to really world-class restaurants is all almost 50% off for US currency holders right now. Flights into Montreal are inexpensive and only a short-haul from New York or Chicago.
Winter, too, while perhaps colder than some of you are used to, has its own kind of beauty and is fun to experience.
Montreal has it all. Great restaurants, hugely talented professionals to work with, gorgeous venues, old world charm, beautiful people, and a lively night life scene. You can be virtually guaranteed a good experience travelling here, and your guests or event attendees will be grateful for the opportunity you’ve provided for them to visit one of the oldest cities in North America. If you need help finding a venue, or just want to sound out a friendly local, feel free to contact me anytime.
Sincerely,
Canada
