This week, Halifax welcomes DEFSEC Atlantic, bringing the aerospace, defence and security community together at the Halifax Convention Centre.

Why Halifax? Well, Halifax is home to NATO DIANA’s North American office, Canada’s Atlantic naval fleet and a growing network of organizations advancing maritime, defence and dual-use innovation. Seems like a natural fit to us.

There's a real advantage to meeting where the expertise is. For sector-focused events, local expertise can mean more opportunities for speakers, partnerships, site visits and connections that give a program a stronger sense of place.

An exhibition that begins with Mi’kma’ki and Kjipuktuk before the establishment of Halifax and incorporates Mi’kmaw voices, artwork and perspectives.

A great event starts with a great idea. Bringing it to life takes also requires great partners.

Give your delegates one less thing to plan and a lot more ways to experience Halifax.

The new Halifax Business Traveller Guide is a ready-to-share resource designed for conference delegates and corporate travellers looking to make the most of their time in the city.

From business basics and shared workspaces to live music, staying active and ideas for exploring between sessions, it gives attendees helpful local information before they arrive and while they’re here.

Add it to your pre-event communications, delegate website or welcome materials and help attendees turn their trip to Halifax into a memorable experience.

A conference agenda doesn’t have to keep delegates indoors all day.

More events are building wellness into the attendee experience, from informal morning run clubs and yoga sessions to organized 5Ks that get delegates moving, exploring and connecting before the day’s sessions begin.

Halifax makes that easy.

From the waterfront boardwalk and Point Pleasant Park to neighbourhood routes and coastal trails, delegates can lace up just steps from hotels and meeting venues. And whether they’re serious runners or simply looking to squeeze in a few kms between sessions, Halifax has a strong running community to help them make the most of it.

Our Guide to running in Halifax brings together local routes, running clubs, gear shops, races, cafés, healthy eats and more.

Great destinations come with a built-in gathering place. At home, that would be a kitchen party, on the Halifax waterfront, we call it the Salt Yard.

Salt Yard is a colourful pocket of the Halifax Waterfront located between Salter and Sackville Streets, right along the boardwalk. Here, a collection of small local businesses brings together food, drinks, shopping, and plenty of places to stop and take in the harbour.

For delegates, it's a convenient place to explore without an itinerary. Grab something local to eat, browse the shops, find a spot by the water, or meet up with colleagues for a drink at a seasonal waterfront b**r garden.

For planners looking for somewhere to point delegates during their free time, put Salt Yard on the list.

No two delegates experience a destination the same way.

One might have two hours to explore the waterfront. Another is looking for local food, a running route, Titanic history, or a neighbourhood they haven't discovered yet.

The Discover Halifax Itinerary Planner makes it easier for attendees to turn their free time into a Halifax experience that fits them, based on their interests, available time, and the parts of the region they want to explore.

For event planners, it means you don't have to anticipate every interest or fill every free hour. Simply point delegates to the Halifax Business Traveller page, where the Itinerary Planner is just one of the resources available to help them make the most of their time in Halifax.

Consider this one less thing to plan, and one more resource to share with your attendees.

Why do event planners love hosting in Halifax? Our post-event surveys tell the story.

Since beginning the survey in 2024, Halifax has earned an average destination satisfaction rating of 9.4/10 from planners who have hosted meetings or conventions here.

They’ve praised our beautiful city and surroundings, variety of venues and hotels, exceptional convention centre staff, and, of course, the East Coast hospitality and charm that makes every event feel a little more special.

As one planner put it: “The overall east coast hospitality and charm gives any event a head start for success.”

We’re incredibly proud of these results, and even prouder of the partners across Halifax who help create such memorable experiences for planners and attendees alike.

Thinking about Halifax for your next event? We’d love to welcome you.

If you're bringing a conference to Halifax, here's one thing worth knowing before your delegates arrive: lobster isn't just on the menu, it's part of Nova Scotia's identity. 🦞

For centuries, lobster has shaped our coastal communities, economy, and culinary traditions. Today, it's one of the experiences visitors look forward to most, whether they're cracking into a traditional lobster supper, sharing lobster rolls while overlooking the water, or discovering creative dishes prepared by local chefs. The Mi'kmaq have harvested lobster for generations, and Nova Scotia's cold, nutrient-rich Atlantic waters continue to produce some of the world's most sought-after lobster.

As a planner, knowing where to point your delegates for an authentic lobster experience is one small way to help them connect with the destination beyond the conference.

📍 @ The Bluenose Restaurant - Halifax

The best way to transport 500 conference delegates? Don't transport them at all.

Connected directly to the Halifax Convention Centre, The Sutton Place Hotels Halifax makes getting from guest room to meeting room effortless, giving attendees more time to focus on networking, learning, and experiencing the destination.

Located in the heart of downtown Halifax, the hotel offers 262 luxurious guest rooms and suites, contemporary amenities, and easy access to restaurants, shopping, the Halifax Waterfront, and many of the city's top attractions—all within walking distance.

For planners, it's the perfect combination of convenience, comfort, and connection.
