The beautiful and historic City of St. John’s is located on the edge of Canada, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, from which we draw not only our sense of place but also our position in the global economy.
Famous for our hospitality, our world-leading ocean technology industry and marine science community position St. John’s as one of the best places to host ocean-related conferences and events.
Such business events provide substantial economic value when tied to sectors of expertise, and as an ocean city powerhouse, St. John’s plays host to numerous ocean-related events each year.
Our ocean technology research and development ecosystem provides easy access to expert guest speakers, excellent tour locations and an engaged community. Factor in our modern conference facilities, first-rate hotels, and legendary cuisine, culture and nightlife, and you will see why St. John’s is such a dynamic and welcoming location for conferences and events.
The City of St. John’s was pleased to co-host Innovate Canada 2022, with clients and partners from across Canada and around the world. It was our pleasure to introduce delegates to our local ocean tech ecosystem and demonstrate why St. John’s is Canada’s ocean city powerhouse.
