The Acoustics Week in Canada will be held from October 3-6, 2023 in downtown Montreal, Quebec. You are invited to be part of this three days conference featuring the latest developments in Canadian acoustics and vibration. The keynote talks and technical sessions will be framed by a welcome reception, conference banquet, ASTM Building Acoustics Standards Committee meeting, technical tour and an exhibition of products and services relating to the field of acoustics and vibration.

The conference will take place in Plaza Centre Ville (777 BlvdRobert-BOurassa, Montréal, QC, H3C /Z7).

Take a few days before or after the conference to enjoy the area! Quebec is famous for its fall colours, when trees all over the place turn bright shades of red, orange, and yellow before losing their leaves. It's an annual spectacle that draws tourists from around the world and remains impressive even to those of us who see it every year! Montreal still has important events to offer at this time of year such as the OFF Jazz Festival and the Festival du nouveau cinema.
