After Hours – what to do outside the forum:

Ottawa is a beautiful city with lots to offer visitors. Since you’ll be right in the heart of downtown Ottawa, take extra time to enjoy the city.  Consult Ottawa Tourism to plan your stay!

Visit the famous ByWard Market

The ByWard Market is Ottawa’s number one tourist attraction, and is the premier destination for shopping, dining, arts, entertainment and professional services for residents and visitors. This area averages 50,000 visitors per weekend in the summer months.

Dine Right Next Door!

If you’re too tired to venture too far, why not dine at the Westin Ottawa, connected to the Ottawa Convention Centre and only steps away from MARCOM 2012!

Immerse yourself in a mosaic of astonishing tulips as spring comes alive in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Canadian Tulip Festival.  It’s a great time to be in Ottawa.
