Cape Breton Music Tourism Convention 2022

Music Tourism Convention
Cape Breton Island, Canada
Important Event Update

We regret to inform you that due to the impact of Hurricane Fiona on our host Cape Breton Island, we're now unfortunately unable to hold the conference and the per-convention tour on the planned dates next week. The current condition of the event infrastructure, as well as the prolonged State of Emergency, simply make it impossible for the event to take place safely.

Our thoughts are with everyone on the island who has been affected and we hope for a smooth and quick recovery.

We are in the process of evaluating the next steps for the conference, so please bear with us as we work that out. We will update you shortly with this information and on details regarding tickets.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these unexpected circumstances.

Kind regards,
