Welcome to PDI Ottawa-Gatineau Campus


Located at the foothills of the scenic Gatineau Federal Park

Our campus is about a 15-minute drive from downtown Ottawa
and about an hour direct flight from LaGuardia Airport, New York.
Hotel Accomodation for out-of-town participants

At our state-of-the-art facility, we take care of the details so that you can focus on learning. We want you to escape the noise and distractions, have a pleasant experience and a stress-free event.

Nestled in a 100,000-square-feet wooded property, our 24-hour high-security protected building was originally created to research advanced radar systems for NORAD. Today, it features specially-designed conference rooms, each with a capacity of 25 participants facing the speaker and seated comfortably with round tables. Parking is free.

We are located within a 15-minute drive of Canadian cultural treasures including the National Gallery of Canada, the Civilization Museum, the National Arts Centre and the Cathedral. Depending upon the season, you can combine serious business with healthy recreational activities such as golfing, hiking, canoeing, swimming or skiing (both alpine and cross country) in the eco-friendly Gatineau Federal Park, within 5-minute drive of our campus.

  • USA: The Harvard Faculty Club in Cambridge, MA (highly recommended)


  • Continental Europe: Habère Poche (French Alps): This is our favorite village in continental Europe. Located only 22 miles from Geneva International Airport, Habère Poche is in the picturesque Vallée Verte at the foothills of breath-taking mountains. We like its friendly hospitality, spectacular hiking trails (in summer) and winter skiing facilities for all levels, from beginners to experts.


  • Morocco: Kenzi Europa Hotel, Agadir : This is our favorite resort for international executive-development programs. With fine weather all year around and located only 3 ½ hours from Paris, at the foothills of the scenic Atlas mountains, Agadir is a modern dream destination in a land of culture, history, wilderness and beauty. Kenzi Europa Hotel is within 100 meters of pristine sandy beaches where you can walk for miles along the Atlantic Ocean. Its comfortable rooms, fitness center and friendly and professional staff are quintessential for a healthy, relaxed and fun-learning experience. There is also a wide selection of activities and excursions to discover the rich Berber heritage of Morocco.
