Meet PEI: Make Waves at Your Next Business Event
What Makes an Event Unforgettable?
As a meeting planner, you know that selecting the right destination sets the tone for your entire event.
In fact, 78 percent of meeting attendees report that location factors into their decision, with 20 to 30 percent saying it’s the deciding factor (Decision to Attend Study, 2017). Choosing the right location is one of the most important decisions in event planning.
Luckily, a bucket-list destination like Prince Edward Island (PEI) has plenty of options to meet your event goals while acting as a major draw for attendee registration.
How do you Find the Right Venue for Your Event?
PEI offers a wide range of venue options, from waterfront venues and state-of-the-art conference spaces to charming seaside restaurants and quaint hotels. The natural beauty of the Island surrounds venues across the island, providing a stunning backdrop for meetings and events.
The PEI Convention Centre, located in the heart of Charlottetown, is a premier choice for large-scale events. With modern facilities, flexible meeting spaces, and breathtaking harbour views, it offers an ideal blend of functionality and island charm.
Meanwhile, Dalvay by the Sea, a historic Victorian Inn in PEI’s National Park on the island’s north shore, highlights the destination’s rich heritage. This National Historic Site of Canada provides a rustic and intimate venue for small to medium sized groups, only steps away from one of Canada’s most beautiful beaches.
Whether you're hosting a large conference or an intimate retreat, PEI’s variety of venue choices is a meeting planner's best friend.
What Makes an Event Bucket List Worthy?
Business travelers are increasingly seeking more meaningful and purposeful travel experiences beyond traditional work-related activities. This shift reflects a growing desire to transform events into holistic, immersive experiences that blend business with culture and cuisine.
Visitors from around the world come to PEI for the province’s world-famous seafood, the iconic red sandstone cliffs, and the origins of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s classic novel, Anne of Green Gables.
With this unique reputation, it’s no surprise that planners often see a spike in registration when PEI is announced as a host location.
By hosting your business event on PEI, you offer the opportunity for your attendees to come early, stay late and check a one-of-a-kind destination off their personal travel bucket list.
