The long-awaited event will take place at the Grand Quay of the Port of Montreal, offering an iconic setting conducive to innovation and connections.
MONTREAL, Feb. 20, 2024 /CNW/ – C2MTL, the largest creative conference in the country, returns from May 21 to 23, 2024, at the Grand Quay of the Port of Montreal with a new approach. In addition to its new location, this 13th edition will offer participants more in-depth business perspectives thanks to bold themes and new partnerships.
In order to create more business opportunities, both in Quebec and internationally, the three days of the 2024 edition of C2MTL will be divided into three useful and relevant themes, namely Experiential & Immersive, Sustainability & Innovation, and AI & Commerce. Much more than a unifying event, C2MTL aims to respond to the pressing issues that guide the world of tomorrow and challenges the public to think differently and act boldly.
“We know that these three industries are getting a lot of attention around the world and the desire of C2, as a globally recognized and relevant event, is to bring these players together in the same place in order to address these issues and create business opportunities,” says Anick Beaulieu, President and CEO of C2MTL. “Quebec is recognized for its excellence in these three sectors and our goal is simple: to have our talent and our local businesses recognized and to generate maximum economic benefits internationally.”
While more and more business events are organized every year, and aware of the changing context in the events industry, C2MTL stands out by offering an event rich in content and questioning, and by encouraging participation and interaction between people and organizations from diverse backgrounds, fields, and industries. Partnerships, particularly with the Ministry of the Economy, Innovation, and Energy, and recently with XP Land and OFFF Festival, will provide a completely new perspective on urgent issues that shape the future of our society.
DAY 1 | Experiential + Immersive: The Illusion of Reality
The first day of C2MTL opens with an immersion in the impact of immersive technologies on the professional world and human exchanges. It invites deep reflection on how virtual and augmented reality are revolutionizing emotional and authentic connections. This day also offers an exploration of avant-garde strategies adapted to a market dominated by technological innovation.
DAY 2 | Innovation + Sustainability: The Sustainable Future, Beyond Trends
This day invites participants to question the definition of success in the context of sustainability, to push innovation in sustainable practices, and to consider the transformation of businesses through resolutely eco-innovative thinking.
DAY 3 | AI + Commerce: Fear, Potential, and the Race for Innovation
C2MTL concludes its edition by examining the development of artificial intelligence in commerce, inviting us to reflect on its influence on our intellect and emotions, and evaluating its importance in our aspiration for immediate gratification.
