Place des Arts: Culture, vision, and leadership at the heart of Montréal
For more than 60 years, Place des Arts has stood as an essential pillar of Montréal’s and Canada’s cultural life. As the largest cultural complex in the country, it has continually evolved and reinvented itself to meet the needs of a metropolis in constant transformation.
On the occasion of this event, we will have the privilege of welcoming Marie-Josée Desrochers, President and Chief Executive Officer of Place des Arts, for an inspiring discussion on the strategic role of culture in Montréal’s development.
A forward-looking vision
During her presentation, Marie-Josée Desrochers will share the vision that drives Place des Arts today. She will address the major initiatives that mobilize her organization and help make this iconic venue a true engine of cultural, social, and economic development at the heart of downtown.
The history, evolution, and projects of Place des Arts vividly illustrate the essential links between business and culture. These connections are key to the vitality, visibility, and success of our metropolis.
