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! • Enjoy music and live entertainment acts featuring top performers from all over the world. • Celebrate cultural diversity by marching in the Parade of Nations with fellow Lions and Leos. • Learn and grow your skills in expert-lead seminars. • Hear from world-renowned speakers. • Meet and chat with Lion Clubs International staff about how to enhance your service, create new opportunities, access key resources and more. • Meet LISC Board members and friends during the 2022 AGM and enjoy our LISC Booth. • Participate in the exciting conclusion of Campaign 100, our Foundation’s historic effort to ensure our future of service. • If you’re a delegate for your Lions club, and your club is in good standing, you’ll be able to cast a vote in the International Election.

Staying safe

As always, safety is always a top priority for us. This year, we will be partnering with local officials to apply all
