How attendees reach it

Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is 76 km (47 mi) away. Build a real transfer window into the arrival day and do not schedule anything important before midday.

Being 1.3 km (0.8 mi) from the middle of Waterloo means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.

Waterloo has 7 venues mapped in total and a population of 121,436. The Waterloo guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

Smaller spaces are where most events actually happen, and Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex is one of them. A single-track day works; a programme with a trade floor attached does not.

  • award ceremonies

    A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.

  • company all-hands

    One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
