Access and arrival
15 km (9.3 mi) separates York Lions Stadium from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.
12 km (7.1 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.
The kind of event it takes
Anything at this scale is a one-room event. It is the 5th 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 12,500 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
The app bill, at this size
A York Lions Stadium programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to the stated capacity of York Lions Stadium — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.
