Conference of Montreal

Our Purpose

Over the past three decades, CDM has evolved to become an internationally recognised multi-day event attended by world leaders and decision makers from the worlds of government, business and academia, who convene to discuss topics ranging from the economy and global leadership to sustainability, energy and innovation. The event’s geographic location in the heart of French Canada offers audiences a rare sociopolitical economic insight which spans both a North American and European perspective, while also examining best practice worldwide.
