    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Captured March 2028 flight searches routed New York (JFK), London (LHR) and Tokyo (NRT) origins into Moncton (YQM), the regional gateway for the show; most long-haul itineraries require at least one connection, so compare total journey times and allow a buffer for late-March weather delays when booking for arrival on 28 March 2028.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Use the nearest international airport serving Moncton; Metro, train or taxi links are typically available to the venue district.

    Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Moncton Coliseum Complex: Moncton: Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Moncton; Moncton: Hotel Moncton; Downtown Moncton: Hilton Garden Inn Moncton Downtown.

    Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps are commonly used in Moncton; confirm local availability before travel.

    Public transit: Moncton operates a municipal bus network linking the downtown core with surrounding commercial districts; confirm current routes, fares and show-day frequency with the local transit operator before travelling, and allow extra time for transfers to the Moncton Coliseum Complex.

    Parking: On-site parking is available at Moncton Coliseum Complex; confirm daily rates and hall access on the organiser or venue site.
