  • From our initial site visit to the execution of the event, the team was attentive, helpful and dedicated to our event. We were told at the time of booking that the team at the Halifax Convention Centre would always work to meet our asks, no matter how far outside of the box the asks were. This rang true, and the team was incredibly accommodating both leading up to the event and while onsite. Pharmasave National Conference & Pharmacy Expo
  • Everything was seamless, from the move-in, to general communication during, and the guest experience team there to assist everyone. So many attendees kept telling us how great the venue was, how delicious the food was, how organized everything was, and it was really the Halifax Convention Centre team making us look good, thank you!
