MONTRÉAL, Sept. 22, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ – For this 11th edition of C2 Montréal, which will be held from September 26-28, the general public will be invited to participate in free outdoor activities on the Esplanade PVM, C2MTL22’s outdoor central business and meeting place.
This is the first time that C2MTL experiences and installations will be open to the entire Montreal population and visitors to the city. C2MTL, with its festival-like approach, will breathe new creative energy into the downtown Nouveau Centre, which brings together Ivanhoé Cambridge‘s flagship, including Place Ville Marie, one of the most iconic sites in Montreal.
A rich experience
On the Esplanade PVM, a hot air balloon, a meeting place and symbolic of travel, will become a champagne bar, and the public will also find podiums for networking. The one-of-a-kind Aquarium, presented by Audible, is a fishbowl-like, live broadcast studio where people can gather to listen to many of the event’s top speakers being interviewed. Two of C2MTL’s signature experiential labs will also be accessible to the general public at noon and from 5-7 pm:
The Hopscotch lab is a guided lab that will transform your everyday movements into choreography. Walk, jump and move to discover an unexpected language.
The Social Discourse lab offers tools to overcome division and polarization. What question would you ask?
An exceptional artistic program
The Scène Culturelle is a place for meetings, creation and artistic performances. For three days, people will be able to enjoy the installations from 12-1:15 pm and from 5-7 pm and take in the vibrant sounds of some of the local artists who make Montreal shine, such as Pierre Kwenders (DJ and founding member of the Moonshine collective), Zander Howard-Scott and Jr Maddripp (classical repertoire and krump dance), Tentacle Tribe (Montreal’s leading dance collective), Blaise Margail (one-man band), Projet Sanctuaire (circus, dance and visual arts collective), Anachnid (Oji-Cree multidisciplinary artist), Liya Bombardier (composer and TikTok influencer), Urban Science Brass Band (New Orleans-style brass band), Jojoflores (DJ) and many more.
Also not to be missed: the first Sunset Session evening of C2MTL22 featuring the conference “Is there an entrepreneur in you?” with Habi Gerba (JCCM and Gazelles), Marie Pier Germain (Germain Hotels) and Élise Tastet (Tastet), hosted by Jean-Luc Mongrain.
To access the complete C2MTL22 programming, a range of pass options is available, including group passes. Please visit: https://www.c2montreal.com/register/

“Lose the pyramids! Can the camels! Bring me a North Korean missile base!” We can imagine the frenzied attempts of the design team at Covent Garden to avoid any taint of Egyptian triumphalism in their new production of Verdi’s Aida. In order to understand today the love-torn dilemmas of its protagonists, they are clearly convinced we need to avoid any reference to this opera’s premiere for the opening of the Suez Canal in 1871, along with any of the copious and specific references to the localit

SINGAPORE—The World Bank said it expects developing economies in East Asia to grow faster than China this year for the first time since 1990, as the world’s second-largest economy struggles with a real-estate crunch and the government’s zero-tolerance approach to Covid-19. The Washington, D.C.-based lender cut its forecast for Chinese growth this year but said it expects growth among 22 neighboring economies to more than double in 2022 compared with the pace they notched last year, as countries benefit from dismantling most Covid-19 restrictions and a revival in tourism. Covid-19 lockdowns, corruption crackdowns and more have put China’s economy on a potential crash course.

California, New York and six other states are suing cryptocurrency lending platform Nexo for offering unregistered securities in the form of accounts that pay interest for cryptocurrency deposits, the states said in statements on Monday. New York's action specifically accused Nexo of misrepresenting its registration status. “Nexo violated the law and investors’ trust by falsely claiming that it is a licensed and registered platform," said New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is demanding the company give up the revenue from its "Earn Interest Product" accounts and provide restitution to customers.
Sterling's slide to record lows leaves it staring at parity with the dollar. Whether or not it hits the symbolic level, investors say Britain's new government has dealt such a blow to the UK's standing with markets that rebuilding confidence could take more than emergency interest rate hikes. The pound, the most visible gauge of investors' perception of the UK, plunged to as low as $1.0327 on Monday, an 8% fall from the moment UK finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng unveiled a "mini budget" on Friday with 45 billion pounds ($48 billion) worth of unfunded tax cuts.
