Access and arrival

Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is 19 km (12 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.

The centre of Toronto is 4.5 km (2.8 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.

Toronto has 254 venues mapped in total and a population of 2,794,356. The Toronto guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

The kind of event it takes

The seats do not move, which is the whole trade. You get sightlines, acoustics and a lighting rig you would otherwise have to rent, and you give up the ability to put tables in the room. George Ignatieff Theatre is 20th of 59 such houses mapped in Toronto.

  • award ceremonies

    Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.

  • product launches

    A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.

  • multi-track conferences

    Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
