Meeting in Prince Edward Island is never just business as usual. The picturesque and laid-back island atmosphere of PEI naturally sparks inspiration and collaboration during business events.
Conferences hosted on PEI often report above average registration numbers, with many delegates citing their excitement to visit this Atlantic Canadian island as a “bucket list” destination, inviting their partners or families to stay pre- or post-event.
Meetings & Conventions PEI (M&CPEI) are currently offering a promotion to generate even more excitement for meeting planners searching for a location for their business events for 2025 and 2026. Book your event in PEI before November 15, 2024, and you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win a stunning fireworks show for your group.
“We love going above and beyond in what PEI can offer for business events,” says Susan Freeman, Executive Director for Meetings & Conventions PEI. “Fireworks after a productive day of meetings and a satisfying dinner of fresh island cuisine is the perfect way to make your conference shine even brighter. It adds a magical touch to an already remarkable experience meeting on our beautiful island.”

An Entire Island of Possibilities
One of the key advantages to working with Meetings & Conventions PEI is that, unlike some other destinations that only oversee a single city or region, on PEI you have the entire province at your disposal.
With connections to nearly 200 local business partners province-wide, M&CPEI can offer unparalleled options for offsite activities. Whether you’re looking for fresh farm-to-table dining experiences with an award-winning chef like The Table Culinary Studio, or a corporate golf getaway on some of Canada’s best golf resorts, like Rodd Crowbush Golf & Beach Resort, the team at M&CPEI are essentially an extension to your own event planning team that can help make these recommendations and connections for you.
“The way our partners collaborate to host our business events is very special,” says Freeman “and our team here at Meetings & Conventions PEI really takes pride in connecting meeting planners with all of those really special people that they need to connect with”
