Let's combine perspectives
C2 Montréal programming — from topical talks to collaborative learning sessions to next-level connecting and, of course, straight-up fun — is an immersive journey into the issues that are top of mind today with an eye towards shaping tomorrow. This year’s six central themes all speak to fast-growing economic sectors as well as major shifts in social behaviour — they’re what we’re talking about AND what we’re spending our money on.

Recharge and regenerate. Explore and play. Engage and reactivate. Join us in RE: Genesis. Brought to you by MYTHOLOGI and C2, come take a break from the noise to recharge your devices and your thoughts with us. Pass us your device to charge, and in exchange we’ll give you ours to explore and play in an interactive augmented reality (AR) world that transforms the Sid Lee lounge space into a living digital forest powered by ELYSIUM. This hybrid green-bathing experience allows visitors to relax, play and engage within an innovative responsive audio and visual environment that will continually evolve over the course of C2. In a nature inspired ambiance, and through unique AR narratives, we hope to inspire conversation around awareness and presence that may translate to sustainable practices and stewardship of our environment. In a living digital artwork that speaks through poetics of space, let’s re-imagine our relationship with nature.
