Nova Scotia has a wide range of conference and convention venues. The Halifax Metro Centre arena in downtown Halifax has facilities for 10,000 people. Connected to this is the World Trade and Convention Centre, a striking landmark building made of brick and glass with a sumptuous interior and three convention floors, catering for up to 2,600 people. A number of hotels and venues in Halifax and Dartmouth offer good meeting facilities. The Sydney's Centre 200 is an arena and convention complex built in celebration of Sydney's bicentennial in 1985.

Among meeting facilities in more rural settings are: The Pines Resort, overlooking the Annapolis Basin and the Bay of Fundy; Dundee Resort, overlooking the Bras D'Or Lakes; Keltic Lodge, overlooking Cape Smoky and the Atlantic Ocean; Liscombe Lodge, tucked into the evergreens where the Liscomb River meets the sea; and Lansdowne Lodge, east of Truro along the Glooscap Trail.
