Flying directly into Montreal is the easiest way to go, and we have information about it at: www.library.mcgill.ca/iaml2012/node/12. But if you are concerned about costs and need a cheaper option-- flying to Burlington, Vermont is possible and sometimes from the U.S. it can be half the price. You just need to be prepared for a bus trip from there, which happens several times per day.
Via Rail, Canada's Passenger Rail System, offers routes from across Canada to Montreal. For example if you want to travel from the Midwest you can go from Sarnia or Windsor, Ontario and travel through Toronto to Montreal. Via Rail is also a great way to get from Montreal to places like Toronto, Niagara Falls or Quebec City if you are going for a pre or post conference trip. See http://www.viarail.ca/en/trains/ for more info.
Want to keep travel costs down to get to Montreal from the U.S.? Amtrak has a train from New York City to Montreal for only $70 one way - http://www.amtrak.com/
