Montréal An Inspirational City!
Although it’s proving to be a truly beautiful summer here in New Hampshire, I can hardly wait for autumn to arrive. This October 5th –9th we’ll be enjoying peak foliage at the IABM International Meeting in Montreal, Canada. Broadcast Monitoring may be a relatively small industry, but it’s big on talent, innovation, technology and connections.
As an association, the IABM strives to represent and facilitate connections within our industry so that we can better serve our clients. We hope you'll plan to reconnect at the world-class Sofitel Montreal on East Sherbrooke Street in the heart of Montreal. This sensational hotel features exquisite guest rooms and conference space that is sure to inspire all who attend. As a timeless yet cutting edge city, Montreal is the perfect location for the 2005 International Meeting of the International Association of Broadcast Monitors.
Please go to http://www.iabm.com for more information or to register online. We'd also love to hear from you with program related suggestions and exhibitor recommendations. The Sofitel Montreal has wonderful space for exhibitors and we want to be sure to make the most of the space as well as your time by extending invitations to as many exhibitors as possible.
To begin planning your trip now, please contact Audra Bucklin at the IABM (800-236-1741).
I can't wait to see you! Audra Bucklin

Montréal is an international city, accessible from just about anywhere in the world!
Connected via major airlines across the globe, Montréal is only an hour and a half from New York City, two hours from Chicago, and six hours from London. Montréal-Trudeau International Airport has recently undergone major renovations in order to improve services for travelers and to modernize the infrastructure. Taxis and limousines ensure quick service to and from Montréal's downtown core. There is also shuttle bus service, l'Aérobus, which links the airports to convenient connecting points in Montréal.
Montréal's Gare Centrale (Central Station), with rail connections from New York or Washington, is also a major stop for domestic trains from eastern or western Canada. Bus travelers arrive right downtown at the Montréal Bus Central Station which is also connected to the Métro (Berri-UQAM station).
Montréal is only 47 km (29 miles) from the New York border. The New York State Thruway (I-87) becomes Route 15, and U.S. I-89 becomes two-lane Route 133 and joins Highway 10 to Montréal. From I-91 in Massachusetts, highways 55 and 10 lead to Montréal. Québec speed limits are in kilometers (100 kph equals about 62 mph). Gasoline is sold in liters (3 3/4 liters equals 1 U.S. gallon).
