Why do people come to your events?
By Stéphane Parent, Le Concierge Marketing
When we work in the event sector, we often concentrate on logistics. We try to develop events that look good, that are really “hot,” that will create a sense of “wow.” All too often, strategy is put in the background or forgotten altogether. I am often told: If the event I put on has a super look, people will come and my tickets will sell all by themselves…
Just 45 minutes from Montreal, the Laurentians offer visitors an array of magnificent landscapes to discover. The region’s inspiring surroundings and bustling villages make it the perfect destination for a successful business trip.
Come and enjoy your business activities in an ideal environment to make your meetings and conferences a roaring success and achieve a wow effect! Here are six scenarios that will allow you to discover new places or see familiar ones in new ways:
Espace Théâtre in Mont-Laurier
The winner of multiple awards for its architecture, Espace Théâtre in Mont-Laurier offers a wide range of rooms for rent for a variety of occasions such as conventions, business meetings, conferences and more. In just an hour, the space can easily be turned from an auditorium that can accommodate 700 to a banquet hall for 400 guests.
You can also include a coat check service, bar, dressing room areas, and kitchen areas for your caterers. Espace Théâtre offers a venue for events of various sizes in a delightful setting, with state-of-the-art facilities, not least of which is the screen in the main hall – one of the largest in Quebec!

Multimedia room at the Mont-Tremblant Casino
Located at Versant Soleil, the Casino invites you to experience unforgettable times in a charming, intimate setting for your business meetings. The five rooms with their contemporary decor can accommodate several dozen people.
You can liven up your event with a variety of activities: an introductory black jack workshop, a DJ and more!
Hélibellule in Mirabel
Located at Montréal-Mirabel International Airport, Hélibellule is an air services company for business and leisure clienteles. Business meetings can also be held there: the trendy lounge is ideal for a cocktail reception and can accommodate nearly 75 people with a direct view onto the airport runways. The 10-person executive lounge is highly unique, with chairs and other furniture inspired by helicopter parts. It would also be interesting to consider the hangar if you are organizing a large-scale activity.
A number of different packages and activities are offered: a helicopter tour of the Laurentians, tour of Montreal, film shoot, and transportation to Mont-Tremblant or any other tourist area.
The barn at the Grand Lodge Mont-Tremblant
The Grand Lodge Mont-Tremblant boutique hotel offers a range of features that are guaranteed to delight. It has 112 rooms and suites, 14 meeting rooms and 3 patios. And for planners looking for a wow effect, a real barn right next to the hotel where you can hold a cocktail dinner, theme evening or barbecue for groups of up to 80 guests.
Team-building workshops are available throughout the year.
Parc Cavaland – equestrian attractions
Welcome to Parc Cavaland, an equestrian theme park that is unique to Quebec! Enjoy the magnificent 150-acre forest and the show site with a large sound-and-light equipped heated theatre and a 22-metre giant screen, and discover a magical kingdom dedicated to horses in a wide variety of disciplines and breeds. The company has developed a range of customized private and corporate activities for groups of up to 400 in a magnificent amphitheatre.
Various options featuring horses and nature are available to guarantee your event’s success: dinner shows, equestrian demonstrations, talks, team-building activities, discovery picnics, hikes and treasure hunts, as well as interactive motivational activities!
Le Scandinave SPA Mont-Tremblant
Organize a “zero stress” meeting in the “zero gravity” room at the Scandinave SPA Mont-Tremblant. This bright, magnificent room can accommodate up to 50 people in a zen environment with wood and stone decor.
