Conference Venue

The Historical Fairmont Chateau Laurier has been chosen as the venue for our conference.

This year's conference is being held at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier hotel. Centrally located in beautiful downtown Ottawa, the historic, five-star hotel is located just steps away from Canada's Parliament buildings. The hotel's location, services and facilities are second to none.


All Ottawa 2004 conference sessions will take place at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier. We highly recommend conference delegates stay at this hotel.
