SJ Trade and Convention Centre

The Saint John Trade & Convention centre is the largest such facility in the Province of New Brunswick. With over 24,000 square feet of pillar free meeting space it consists of a 17,000 square foot ballroom, large foyer, six breakout rooms, a boardroom, and a welcome centre. With a capacity of 2300 people, it is the ideal venue for Trade Shows, Conventions, large or small meetings, social functions, fundraisers, concerts, or dance competitions. Its street access and large loading dock also make it ideal for product launches and vehicle exhibits.

The Saint John Trade & Convention Centre has recently hosted such distinguished and diverse events such as the East Coast Music Awards, The Canadian Country Music Awards, The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada Conference, The Canadian Mental Health Association Convention, The National Healthcare Leadership Convention, TD Bank National Convention, to name a few. Upcoming events are listed on this site.

The centre is managed by the Hilton Saint John. Our Group Service Managers will assist you in the planning process, while our catering team and on–site audio visual company will ensure your event runs smoothly.

Convention and meeting delegates will have many attractions and entertainment options to choose from while in Saint John. Home of the world-renowned Reversing Falls, the "Fundy City" also has first-class dining, shopping, and recreational facilities such as the Canada Games Aquatic Centre and Harbour Station, all linked to the Trade & Convention Centre by a climate-controlled pedway system known as the "Inside Connection."

Saint John has so much to offer your delegates!  Visit the Saint John Firefighters Museum, the Old Burial Ground, King's Square, Old City Market or Loyalist House.  See a blend of old and new at the New Brunswick Museum, located in the modern Market Square Complex.  Those with a passion for the arts can choose among many activities such as spending an evening at the beautifully restored Imperial Theatre or visiting one of our fine galleries.

 If your delegates enjoy the great outdoors, they can visit the Horticultural Gardens, Historic Trinity Royal, or Rockwood Park.  At Irving Nature Park, they can observe some of the many marine and winged species that rely on the magnificent Bay of Fundy, "one of the Marine Wonders of the World."  Clearly something for everyone.
