Quebec Tourism Industry Rendez-vous Set for September 3, 2026, in Montreal

Event Details and Programming at Club de golf Elm Ridge

Tourism professionals from across the province are scheduled to gather on Thursday, September 3, 2026, starting at 8:00 a.m. The Rendez-vous de l’industrie touristique du Québec serves as a central hub for decision-makers and managers to exchange ideas and explore new business opportunities. According to the event organizers, the program features a mix of conferences, networking sessions, and outdoor excursions designed to showcase local attractions.

Attendees have the option to participate in various activities, including a round of golf at the Elm Ridge course or field trips to the Cap-Saint-Jacques nature park. At the park, participants can engage in activities such as fatbiking, kayaking, pottery, and an introduction to foraging for wild mushrooms. The day’s programming also includes a featured conference led by Élizabeth Rancourt of TVA.

Industry Participation and Networking Trends

The event acts as a primary networking platform for the Quebec tourism sector. Data provided by the organizers indicates that roughly 20% of the currently registered participants work specifically within the hotel sector, while more than one-third of all registrants are traveling from outside the Montréal area to attend. This diversity in attendance is intended to facilitate connections between hoteliers, attraction managers, restaurateurs, and destination representatives.

Interest in the gathering appears high, with 70% of available tickets already reserved as of the latest update. Because capacity for specific activities is limited, organizers have encouraged prospective attendees to register promptly to secure their preferred sessions.

Support for the Next Generation of Professionals

Beyond networking, the event serves a philanthropic purpose for the future of the industry. All profits generated from the day are slated to be donated to the Fondation Alliance pour la relève. This organization focuses on supporting and accompanying the next generation of tourism professionals in Quebec. By participating, industry members contribute directly to the training and development of future talent in the field.

Registration and Logistics

As the event date approaches, organizers are continuing to manage both attendee registration and corporate sponsorship inquiries. For those interested in the remaining sponsorship opportunities, Louis St-Jean, gestionnaire aux commandites, is managing the process and can be reached at 514 792-9640 or via email. The conference remains a fixture on the professional calendar.

With high demand for tickets and a focus on both professional development and the sector’s long-term sustainability, the September 3 gathering represents a significant moment for Quebec’s tourism economy. Prospective participants are advised to monitor the official ticketing portal to ensure availability before the event reaches capacity.
