Access and arrival
Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is 21 km (13 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.
This is an out-of-centre venue — 7.2 km (4.5 mi) from the middle of Toronto — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.
The published number for the venue is +1-416-815-5500.
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
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 4th largest arena or stadium mapped in Toronto, and like all of them it solves the plenary and none of the rest of the programme.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 19,800 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
