Welcome to St. John’s!

Your Conference Home: Memorial University’s Signal Hill Campus

Memorial University’s Signal Hill Campus, is perched above St. John’s Harbour with what might just be the best view in the entire region. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the harbour entrance, where ships navigate The Narrows and, if you time it right, humpback whales may swim by for a moment of awe.

The campus was designed as a hub for collaboration and connection, which means you’ll find plenty of welcoming spaces to continue conversations, work together, or just soak in that stunning backdrop. Between the harbour views, the hillside setting, and the blend of modern comfort with St. John’s character, you’ve got a venue that makes those “away from the office” vibes feel extra special.

Learn about Newfoundland’s First Peoples

#PSEWeb is traveling to the unceded, traditional territory of the Beothuk, Mi’kmaq, Innu, and Inuit. As you explore St. John’s, we encourage you to learn more about the First Peoples who were here before us, who live with us now, and the future generations.

Get out on the go and have a time – this city’s finest kind!

Between sessions, wander Water Street—the oldest street in North America—where you can browse local art at The Rooms, grab coffee at Rocket Bakery, or pick up traditional knitwear at NONIA.

George Street packs more bars and live music per capita than anywhere else in Canada; any night you’ll find traditional folk sessions where fiddles and accordions turn strangers into kitchen party companions.

July is prime whale-watching season; book a boat tour to spot humpbacks breaching offshore. Cape Spear at sunrise means you’re the first in North America to see the sun. The East Coast Trail offers dramatic cliff views and seabird colonies with breathtaking sights on even short hikes.

Come on, b’y, you’re some welcome here!
