JUNE 24-28, 2022 PALAIS DES CONGRÈS DE MONTRÉAL We’re excited for you to join us in beautiful Montréal at LCICon 2022 with plenary sessions, service activities, entertainment and much more. During a typical year the LCI conservatively estimates that 15,000 to 18,000 delegates attend their annual gathering. They are however, forecasting approximately 10,000 delegates for 2022 due to the realities of postpandemic travel. But we might be in for a surprise - the 2020 Convention was cancelled, and the 2021 edition was 100% virtual. The Lions members love to meet, so they might arrive in droves. Or prides. You get the idea. The event will be headquartered at the “Le Centre Sheraton Montréal Hotel”. But given the sheer volume of attendees, hotels across the city will likely be at full capacity. Some meeting will be at the “Palais des Congrès de Montréal” and some will be held at the International Convention at the “Bell Centre”. With more than 30,000 room nights expected for the city’s hotels, the event is expected to generate $16 million in tourism spending to Montréal’s economy!
