How is the journey by public > transport? From Collège de Maisonneuve to Berri-UQAM (downtown, many restaurants) is about 20 minutes in public transport. The closest metro stations, Joliette and Pie-IX, are within 10 minutes of walking distance. We're also considering an agreement with the Montréal’s public bike system (BIXI), which has many stations close to this venue: https://montreal.bixi.com/ > What do you mean by saying that École de Technologie Supérieure is "Too > downtown-ish"? My personal opinion on this is that it is not a downside, but an upside. Everything is closer: transport, restaurants, hotels, etc. However, we're aware that many attendees may prefer a more quiet / "distraction free" environment, according to past discussion on this subject and to the recent venue choices. That said, the word "downside" may be an exaggeration here. Cheers, -- Alexandre Viau aviau@debian.org
