The symposium will be held in the Capital Hall at the Ottawa Congress Centre which is located in the heart of Ottawa.
Set against the backdrop of the magnificent fall colours of the Gatineau Park Hills and surrounded by Canada's beautiful Parliament Buildings, the world famous Rideau Canal, historic national museums, elegant galleries and the vendors, acclaimed restaurants, hotels and nightlife of the ByWard Market, the Ottawa Congress Centre offers visitors the best location in the city.
In addition to its importance as the political and bureaucratic centre of the country, Canada's Capital is a leading North American high technology hub. Due to the number of major electronics companies who have offices in the city, Ottawa has earned the nickname of "Silicon Valley North". In addition, Ottawa is the country's fourth largest metropolitan city, home of the 2007 NHL Eastern Conference Champion Ottawa Senators and one of the most popular meeting and tourist destinations in Canada.
