ConFoo Montreal is a long-running full stack developer conference organised by ConFoo, with talks selected by a dedicated committee and a strong focus on practical solutions that developers can apply in their daily work. The programme spans a wide range of software development subjects, from web and backend engineering to architecture and the ways artificial intelligence is reshaping the industry, and it draws developers, CTOs and other technology professionals. The 2027 gathering marks the 25th edition of the event and takes place from 24 to 26 February 2027 at the Hotel Bonaventure in downtown Montreal, Canada. It is an in-person conference on a substantial scale, with the organisers citing close to 200 presentations across the three days. Sessions typically run for 45 minutes including time for questions, and a separate training programme is offered alongside the main talks. Attendees can move between parallel sessions, take part in networking events and spend time in an interactive lounge, with meals provided during the conference. Recordings from the previous year have also been offered to registrants. For the Canadian and wider North American developer community, ConFoo remains one of the most established multi-technology meeting points on the calendar.

ConFoo brings its multi-track developer programme to Montreal in late February, the coldest stretch of a Quebec winter and precisely when the city's underground infrastructure earns its reputation. Downtown is stitched together by kilometres of climate-controlled passages linking metro stations, hotels and malls, so you can move between venue, lodging and dinner without going outside. The francophone character makes it feel unlike anywhere else in North America.
Montreal-Trudeau International (YUL) is roughly 20 km west of downtown, served by the 747 express bus that runs around the clock and takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. The STM metro has four lines and is the fastest way across the centre, running warm and frequently through winter. Via Rail connects to Toronto, Quebec City and Ottawa from Gare Centrale, itself plugged into the underground network.

Metro stations and downtown venues carry public Wi-Fi, and Canadian mobile coverage downtown is strong. Roaming into Canada is expensive from most countries, so an eSIM set up before arrival is worth arranging. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
RESO underground city. More than thirty kilometres of connected pedestrian tunnels link metro stations, shopping complexes, offices and hotels beneath downtown. In late February it is less a curiosity than the practical way to get around. Following it from Place-des-Arts to Gare Centrale takes about an hour and needs no coat.
Notre-Dame Basilica. The Gothic Revival interior in deep blue and gold is the city's signature building, and the evening Aura light and sound show projects onto the vaulting and altarpiece. Daytime visits are ticketed separately from the show. Allow an hour for the basilica, longer if you book Aura. Tickets on Tiqets →
Mount Royal. The hill the city is named for rises directly behind downtown, with the Kondiaronk lookout giving a full view over the skyline and the Saint Lawrence. In February the paths are snow-packed and used for snowshoeing and sledding. Around two hours; boots with grip are essential.
Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Canada's oldest art museum, spread across several linked pavilions on Sherbrooke Street with Quebec and international collections. It is the best indoor refuge downtown when the temperature drops well below freezing. Two hours covers a couple of pavilions comfortably. Tickets on Tiqets →
How cold does Montreal get in February?
Genuinely cold, routinely well below freezing and colder with wind chill. A proper winter coat, hat, gloves and insulated boots are not optional.
Do I need to speak French?
No. Montreal is bilingual and downtown service staff switch to English readily, though signage is primarily in French. A greeting in French is appreciated.
How do I get in from the airport?
The 747 express bus runs 24 hours to downtown and Gare Centrale in 30 to 60 minutes. Taxis and rideshare are quicker outside peak traffic but cost substantially more.
