Venue

Fairmont Château Laurier

1 Rideau Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

The setting

A landmark in the heart of Ottawa

The Fairmont Château Laurier stands at 1 Rideau Street in downtown Ottawa, beside the Rideau Canal and within walking distance of Parliament Hill and the ByWard Market. Its limestone façade and copper roofline have defined the city's skyline for more than a century.

Fairmont publicly describes the property as supporting meetings, conferences and events. Its historic ballrooms and reception rooms provide the setting for both the daytime convening and the evening gala, allowing guests to move between the two without leaving the building.

The Fairmont Château Laurier is the venue for this event. Its selection does not imply that Fairmont is a sponsor, partner, co-organizer or endorser of the First Replenishment Conference, of MBOMBO Gala Night, or of the Global Fund of Africa.
