Planning tips
- Toronto leads. Most Canadian AI events on this list are in Toronto, with Vancouver and Montréal next.
- Check entry rules early. Most visitors need either a visa or an eTA (electronic travel authorization) to fly to Canada; apply on the official Government of Canada site.
- Montréal is bilingual. Events there may run in French and English; the official page usually says which.
- Plan for winter. From December to March weather can disrupt flights, so leave a buffer day before a talk.
