Today, Montréal remains an important international city that features eight universities. Montréal acts as a main economic center for Canada, and hosts a variety of culture from fine cuisine to high fashion shopping.

In the summer of 2007, Montréal will continue in this tradition of bringing people together as the host of, not only the 20th American Peptide Society Meeting, but also the Montréal International Jazz Festival featuring Holly Cole on 30th of June, Cesaria Évorà on July 2 and BOB DYLAN on July 4, and many more!,

There is also the International Fireworks Competition on Wednesdays and Saturdays throughout the month of June, the Canadian Grand Prix from June 8 - 10 and more !”

The 20th American Peptide Society Meeting will be held at the Palais des Congrès . This convention center is situated in the heart of Montréal. The Palais has architecture that embodies the character of Montréal itself: festive, creative, artistic and resolutely contemporary.

For accommodations, special group hotel rates will be available to the 20th APS delegates through the housing bureau hosted by Tourisme Montreal. The Hyatt is located across from the Place des Arts and the Complex Desjardins, and offers walking distance access to art museums, music halls, and shopping malls. Nestled in the Old Port, the Marriott is centrally located in this romantic, historic part of the city, where horse-drawn carriages pass by on the cobblestone streets side by side with automobiles.

Attendees are invited to bring their families to enjoy in all aspects of the city, scientific and cultural!
