October will be filled with exciting events, celebrations, and gatherings at RBC Place London. This month, we’re hosting the 2024 Manufacturing Matters Conference, St. Joseph's Tribute Dinner, and the Wounds Canada Fall Conference, to name a few. We are also proud to welcome over 4,000 guests, including delegates, award recipients, and industry leaders to our facility in the coming weeks.
This month is all about embracing the spirit of the fall season—Thanksgiving, Halloween, and autumn festivities are just around the corner. There is plenty for locals and visitors to enjoy: trail walks and the changing of the leaves, screenings at the Forest City Film Festival or shopping at one of the many fall markets.
