- Delegates are urged to modify or cancel their hotel reservations as soon as they become aware of any changes to their travel plans in order to avoid penalties and to allow other delegates to benefit from increased room availability.

An array of information and services is available upon arrival at the airport, including several options for making your way to the heart of the city: car rental and limousine transportation companies are on site as well as airport shuttles, like Aérobus. If you are going by taxi, a trip downtown will cost you a flat rate of $35, tip not included.
Westjet, Porter and Air Canada among others serve Montreal.
VIA Rail Canada Canada serves more than 450 Canadian cities. If you are coming from the United States, hop aboard an Amtrak train, with daily departures from several American cities to downtown Montréal.

The hotel welcoming the Conference is situated just across the central station.
