Plan a corporate racing simulator event for your team in Laval.

In Laval, the spaces best suited to a racing simulator event are Place Bell for large groups, Cosmodôme for its technological atmosphere, Sheraton Laval and Hôtel Alt Laval for corporate formats with on-site accommodation, and Hilton Garden Inn Laval for groups arriving by car via Highway 15. For smaller executive groups of 20 to 30 people, certain private rooms at Centropolis allow for an intimate configuration. INNOV'events has visited every site and is familiar with the technical constraints of simulator installation at each one.

The budget for a racing simulator event is quoted per project, because it depends on group size, number of simulator stations required, session length, chosen venue, catering level, and audiovisual needs. The main cost items are: simulator rental and transport, technical installation and management, facilitation and emcee, catering, and venue rental. Every quote presents two distinct scenarios. Itemized quote within 24 business hours.

Autumn September to November offers the best balance of venue availability, reasonable booking lead times, and stable rates in Laval. September and October are the busiest months for post-summer activities: book 6 to 8 weeks in advance. Winter works well for simulator events since the activity is entirely indoors, but December calendars fill up 10 to 12 weeks ahead. Spring requires 8 to 10 weeks of lead time. Summer demands 4 to 6 months of advance booking.

Allow 8 to 12 weeks in a standard period for full organization in Laval. For high-demand spaces such as Place Bell, a lead time of 4 to 6 months is recommended in peak season. Groups of fewer than 50 participants can be accommodated with a shorter lead time of 4 to 6 weeks if the venue is available. The initial quote is produced within 24 business hours.

Installing racing simulators requires three prior checks: allowable floor load, available ceiling height, and loading dock width. On Quebec soil, we have found that these parameters vary significantly from one venue to another, even within Laval. INNOV'events carries out a technical site visit before confirming any venue, to avoid surprises on the day. A standard installation takes 2 to 4 hours depending on the number of stations.

The most effective complementary activities during a driving session in Laval are an escape game during rotation breaks, a LEGO challenge for groups that enjoy problem-solving, and a culinary workshop to close the day. Each activity is chosen to support the cohesion or competition objective defined in the brief never picked from a catalogue.

From downtown Montreal, Laval is accessible in 35 minutes by metro (orange line, Montmorency terminus) or in 20 to 25 minutes by car via Highway 15. Montreal-Trudeau Airport (YUL) is 25 minutes away via Highway 15 North. From Quebec City (YQB), allow 1 h 45 min via Highway 40 West. INNOV'events coordinates shuttle transfers from your preferred arrival points.

Yes, and it is technically feasible in most Laval venues. We install a live broadcast of standings and sessions on a large screen, also accessible to remote participants via a secure link. Fibre connectivity is available at our partner venues. Real-time question moderation works well in competition formats where remote teams want to follow results.

Yes, several options can be built into the event in Laval. We can encourage transit use among participants (metro, orange line), select caterers who source locally, and reduce single-use plastics at simulator stations. An ESG workshop running in a parallel format gives the day collective meaning beyond the competition. INNOV'events incorporates these considerations from the briefing stage.

INNOV'events operates in Laval and the surrounding administrative regions: Montreal, Laurentides, Lanaudière, and Montérégie. The cities of Montreal, Terrebonne, Blainville, Boisbriand, and Saint-Jérôme are covered with no additional travel costs from our Montreal office.

For a corporate group in Laval, Sheraton Laval and Hôtel Alt Laval offer room blocks and meeting rooms within the same property, which simplifies logistics. Hilton Garden Inn Laval suits groups arriving by car. The Cosmodôme has no on-site accommodation, but is within 10 minutes of all three hotels mentioned. INNOV'events reserves room blocks in advance and coordinates arrivals and departures.
