Hotel and Meal Plans
Plan your stay at the Brookstreet Hotel for a weekend oasis escape. All Can*Con 2025 activities will take place in this fully accessible venue, and this year we’re offering meal passes so guests, panelists, and attendees can break bread together during meal breaks.
(Did someone say meal breaks? Yes, this year the schedule will feature meal breaks! Exact times and details coming soon.)

What’s this meal thing?
This year, Can*Con is partnering with Brookstreet to offer food directly in our event spaces! We’ll also have meal breaks built into the schedule (a long-time request by attendees), where you can either enjoy one of the venue’s cafés or restaurants, or purchase a meal pass to eat on the event floor with panelists, guests, and attendees.
If you don’t know anyone at Can*Con, it’s a great way to meet people, with some tables marked for shared interests (ie Totoro) or for New Attendees, or I Love Books with Words (table names not final), etc. These will (mostly) change every meal! (Send us table theme ideas at ops@can-con.org!)
Brookstreet not only gets as much of their ingredients from local producers as possible, they were also the first venue to join Ottawa Tourism's À la Carte program, which recovers surplus food from events and redirects it to places and people in need.
MEAL PASSES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE ON SITE, AND LAST DAY TO PURCHASE ONE IS SEPTEMBER 26.
You’ll need to reserve your meal pass AFTER booking your hotel room.
