FIAMP in Montreal
Being among one of the first French-speaking cities in North America, and having a population of nearly two million, Montreal is a cultural and economic centre which bridges Europe and the Americas. Distinguished by its bilingual and multicultural society, the city is recognized internationally as a mecca for creativity, enriched by an abundance of businesses specialized in new technologies, multimedia, research, culture and high-tech industries.
This network is supported by numerous ambassadors, whose personalities and innovativeness demonstrate how much they value our heritage. These individuals also strive to remind society about the importance of art and technology in Montreal. On the cultural stage, actors, producers and artists share a heartfelt desire to promote the originality of their projects and great accomplishments, all characterized by tremendous diversity, and enriched with external influences and collaborations.
Designated a UNESCO City of Design since 2006, Montreal is appreciated for its multiple festivals taking place throughout the year, and the authentic beauty of its Old Port. This effervescent metropolis is comprised of a rich network of museums with almost forty of these museums grouped within the Board of Montréal Museums Directors, one of the partners organizing this year's conference and the competition (FIAMP) for the AVICOM Committee 2012.
In this regard, Montreal is pleased to continue these exchanges and host the 2012 AVICOM Committee conference, from October 9 to 12, 2012. More »
