Welcome Reception

Courtyard of the Royal Victoria College

3425 Rue University

​

Join us for a 5 à 7 (which in Montreal means happy hour). We only start at 5:30, hoping that those flying in that day will have arrived by then and fought their way through immigration and Montreal highway construction all the way to downtown!

​

There will be small appetizers, but you may wish to plan for dinner afterwards. Lots of downtown restaurants are nearby.

A 'cocktail dinatoire' will be followed by a long-standing PlantBioMech tradition: a capella singing in nationally assorted groups.

 

And then, for some local flavor, we show you contra-dancing! Absolutely no prior dancing skills required. High heels are not recommended. If you want to find out what expects you, check this video.
