ANNOUNCING NEW BOARD OF DIRECTION 2025<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

M for Montreal and Mundial Montreal are pleased to announce significant changes to the composition of their unified Board of Directors.<\/strong>Over the years, HUB Montreal, Mundial Montreal, and M for Montreal have established themselves as key references in the world of B2B events dedicated to culture and creativity. Enriching Montreal\u2019s cultural and economic landscape, these organizations also play a vital role in promoting and exporting local talent from the creative and music industries.Each of these events has developed within its own ecosystem, building unique trajectories and communities. While HUB Montreal specializes in immersive and interactive creative industries, Mundial Montreal and M for Montreal serve the music industry.In this context, a restructuring of the governance model was necessary to better address the specific needs and dynamics of each entity. The Board of Directors has therefore decided to establish two separate boards to ensure the optimal development of each.This division is also accompanied by a strategy to enhance board contributions and improve governance practices, through the clarification of roles and responsibilities, board member obligations, and the operational frameworks of the boards and subcommittees.The teams at Mundial Montreal and M for Montreal are excited to introduce the new members who will make up our Board of Directors for 2025!<\/h6>\n
