Fredericton / Why Fredericton?

Why Fredericton?

Uniquely capable of delivering a fresh experience with noteworthy celebrations, Fredericton is the hidden gem of the Maritimes and offers an experience delegates will long remember!

Fredericton provides a great meeting experience enhanced with live entertainment, local culinary delights, and is a city committed to advanced technology, offering free wireless & wired connectivity in all meeting venues. The downtown is alive with history and culture; there’s a true sense of place that leaves a lasting impression on planners and delegates alike. Delegates are continually surprised with the beauty, charm, meeting venues and convenience of Fredericton.

With convenient highway links, Fredericton is within a day’s drive from Halifax, Charlottetown, Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto. This proximity puts Fredericton a step ahead in marketing to potential delegates. The Greater Fredericton Airport, only 15 minutes from downtown, is serviced by Air Canada, Porter and West Jet and receives multiple direct daily flights: Toronto (7), Ottawa (1), Montreal (3) and Halifax (4). Toronto is the major hub connecting Fredericton to the rest of the world.

A strategic advantage of Fredericton’s size is that your business is personal to us. We know each other in this city, and soon we will know you too! We live here, and we have contacts with entertainers, transportation operators and caterers, just to name a few.
