Business cards in Montreal

A bilingual business card, practically speaking

Montreal is one of the few cities where sharing your contact details genuinely means choosing a language, or trying to cover both.

This matters most in the AI and gaming cluster clustered around Mile End and the Quartier de l'innovation, where studios and research labs hire across both language communities and switch between French and English within the same meeting.

Where meetings happen

The Palais des congrès de Montréal anchors much of the city's conference and trade show calendar, sitting close to Chinatown and the edge of Quartier des Spectacles, and it is common to walk from a session there straight into an evening networking event a few blocks away. The same profile link works from a downtown session to a bar table later on, with nothing to run out of.

Gaming studios and AI labs in the city also tend to run informal, fast-moving networking, where a QR code scanned on a phone gets more actual follow-through than a card that ends up at the bottom of a bag.
