Montreal is known for its vibrant nightlife, with a bustling scene that attracts locals and tourists alike. The Montreal Night Summit taking place from May 17 to 21, 2023, is an annual event that brings together professionals, policymakers, and nightlife enthusiasts to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the city’s nightlife scene. This year’s summit theme is NOX ✦ SPATIUM, which explores the possibilities of nightlife beyond just time but also space.

The summit will kick off with a keynote discussion on the Creative Footprint Montreal report from us at VibeLab. The report assesses the city’s cultural and creative ecosystem’s impact and provides a roadmap for a sustainable cultural and creative economy.


We at VibeLab, will present key research findings and urban policy recommendations from Creative Footprint Montréal — the first comprehensive study of Montréal’s music and nightlife spaces and communities since COVID-19. Conducted in collaboration with PennPraxis, Montréal is the fifth city in the Creative Footprint research project — joining Berlin, New York, Tokyo and Stockholm.

The summit is an opportunity for Montreal to showcase its vibrant and diverse nightlife and its potential to drive economic growth. It is also a chance for policymakers and industry leaders to come together to discuss ways to support the nightlife scene while ensuring public safety and promoting a more harmonious way of living together as citizens.

The Montreal Night Summit is a forum of ideas for nightlife users and professionals as well as for public decision-makers. The event features roundtable discussions with international guests, who share best practices from around the world. These discussions are followed by local perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing Montreal’s nightlife scene.

The summit is not just a talkfest; it also includes an event promoting Montreal’s nightlife, NON STOP, showcasing local artistic and cultural talent. The event is a celebration of Montreal’s vibrant nightlife and serves as a testing ground for new pilot projects.
