It’s simple, really. The meetings and conventions business on PEI attracts a yearly average of 155 meetings and 20,000 meeting attendees.

Meetings increase accommodations, venue occupancy, food and beverage sales, and help promote our local artisans, creative services, and attractions. They also encourage repeat visitation from delegates who come here once and fall in love with our magical island.
