Two U.S. associations have chosen Québec City, one of the top seven intelligent cities in the world, for their international conferences in July 2014—bringing to ten, the number of international conferences and conventions confirmed for the summer of 2014. The Cognitive Science Society and the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence will bring together over 2,000 cognitive science and artificial intelligence specialists at the Québec City Convention Centre for nine days. These two conferences will be held at the same time as the Organization for Computational Neuroscience (OCNS) convention already scheduled to convene its 450 attendees at the Convention Centre from July 19 to 24, 2014

“We’re very pleased the Québec City Convention Centre has been selected to host these two major conferences. Our local economy and hotel industry will reap significant benefits with the creation of 8,000 room-nights and an estimated $4 million in economic spinoffs. It’s all thanks to the diligent efforts of our sales force,” stressed Québec City Convention Centre CEO P. Michel Bouchard

36th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (CogSci 2014) – July 23–26, 2014 After meeting in Japan (2012) and Germany (2013), the Cognitive Science Society chose Québec City for its 36th Annual Conference bringing together about a thousand researchers interested in the cognitive sciences, including artificial intelligence, psychology, linguistics, anthropology, neuroscience, philosophy, and education

AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence 2014 – July 27–31, 2014 Taking advantage of the fact that so many CogSci 2014 attendees will be in town, the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) also decided to schedule its conference in Québec City. Artificial intelligence will be the buzzword in July 2014 with this gathering of over a thousand experts in this emerging field

Ten international conferences from June to August 2014 are already on the Centre’s calendar:
• Congrès mondial de l’Association internationale d’orientation scolaire et professionnelle (AIOSP)
• 2014 Annual Meeting of the RNA Society
• XXXIII FIMS (Fédération internationale de médecine du sport) World Congress 2014
