Plan a corporate wind tunnel simulator experience in Laval.

In Laval, the venues best suited to a corporate wind tunnel simulator are the Cosmodôme, Place Bell, Hôtel Alt Laval and Sheraton Laval for formats requiring accommodation. Centropolis works well for smaller groups looking for an urban, less conventional atmosphere. We know these addresses firsthand and negotiate time slots directly with each venue manager.

The budget is quoted per project, as it depends on group size, the chosen venue, session length, catering level and required technical equipment. A group of 30 people for a half-day involves very different line items than a full competitive day for 100 participants with overnight accommodation. We itemize every cost in the quote within 24h, with no commitment required.

Spring, from April through June, offers the best balance of venue availability, rates and group energy for this activity in Laval. Winter (January to March) has open slots and lower rates, but outdoor conditions can complicate travel. Summer is peak season: hotels fill quickly and some room blocks are reserved 4 to 6 months in advance. Autumn suits teams returning from vacation, provided you book 10 to 12 weeks ahead.

Eight to ten weeks is sufficient for most formats in Laval. For groups of more than 80 people, or for residential formats at Sheraton Laval or Place Bell, allow 4 to 6 months. The Cosmodôme, which is in high demand among corporate groups, tends to book out first.

Safety is the first module of every program: a mandatory briefing of at least 20 minutes precedes each flight session. Certified instructors supervise every rotation. Across our Laval events, we have found that groups who received an extended 30-minute briefing show greater ease in the tunnel and higher satisfaction scores. Equipment checks and an emergency evacuation protocol are always built into the run-of-show, confirmed before the event day.

Several activities combine effectively with this experience in Laval. To build cohesion before the flights, a MasterChef-style culinary workshop creates a strong group dynamic. To sustain energy in the evening, a game show puts the day's results in the spotlight. For shorter days, an escape game works well as a transition between two flight sessions. Each activity is chosen to serve the group's objective, not to fill time.

From downtown Montreal, Laval is a 30-minute drive via Highway 15 north. Montreal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) is 35 minutes by car via Highways 40 and 15. From Terminus Montmorency (orange metro line), express bus 902 connects to central Laval in 25 minutes. We coordinate group shuttles from Montreal or YUL for all our Laval formats.

Yes. Live video capture of the wind tunnel is possible and frequently requested for competitive formats. A secure fibre connection can broadcast flight sequences in real time to a screen in the room or to remote participants. Real-time question moderation from a mobile production booth rounds out the setup for hybrid groups.

Yes, and Laval lends itself well to it. We favour local catering suppliers and public transit to reduce individual car travel. A corporate social responsibility activity can be integrated as a program module for instance, one linked to the Cosmodôme's scientific theme. Accommodation can be directed toward properties with active environmental certifications.

Yes. INNOV'events covers Laval and the adjacent administrative regions: Montreal, Laurentides, Lanaudière and Montérégie. We also work in neighbouring MRCs such as Les Moulins, Thérèse-De Blainville and L'Assomption for groups that prefer a venue slightly outside the urban core.

Our two main addresses in Laval are the Cosmodôme and Place Bell, both equipped with briefing rooms and suitable catering spaces. Sheraton Laval and Hôtel Alt Laval complement the offer for residential formats. Centropolis offers distinctive private spaces for groups of 20 to 80 who want a more informal setting. Every venue has been visited and assessed on its actual technical capabilities.
