It's the Montreal mind-meld that doesn’t feel like work.
Every spring, C2 Montréal pulls off a three-day business conference that feels more like a cultural experiment. Picture this: an internationally acclaimed slam poet opens for a Shopify executive. An urban planner debates an AI ethicist under the glow of an interactive art installation. You’re sipping coffee on the Saint Lawrence as someone pitches you a joint venture from a beanbag chair.
For its 14th edition, C2 is setting up shop once again at the Grand Quay of the Port of Montréal, turning the city’s waterfront into a full-blown playground for ideas. It’s part festival, part think tank, part very-productive-field-trip. Here to make a deal? Shift your perspective? Just see what happens when the creative and corporate collide?
