How attendees reach it

21 km (13 mi) separates Sony Centre for the Performing Arts from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.

6.9 km (4.3 mi) from the centre puts this outside comfortable walking range of any hotel district, so the shuttle is part of the event rather than an extra.

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.

Programming it

Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way. Catering and breakouts need a second space nearby.

  • 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.
