Stage Expo 2005
Takes On a New Shape If you have visited Stage Expo on the conference website, you may have noticed that Stage Expo will have a different shape in 2005. Exhibit halls A&B in the Metro Toronto Convention Centre's North Building stretch nearly 500 feet from side-to-side, and just under 300 feet front-to-back, creating a space that is much wider than it is deep. With 14 aisles running front-to-back and just seven from side-to-side, it seems that everyone is within a stone's throw of the front of the halls. Another unusual feature about the exhibit halls we'll be using in Toronto is that they are located above the registration area and meeting rooms. In many convention centers (like the South Building of the MTCC where USITT was in 1999), the exhibit halls are at ground level or below with meeting rooms on the upper levels. In the North Building of the MTCC, it's an easy trip up the escalator from the registration area directly to Stage Expo, located on the 300 Exhibit Hall Level. The conference registration area will be just inside the main Front Street entrance of the MTCC along with many of meeting rooms on the 200 Ground Level. Other meeting rooms and spaces for all-conference events are just below registration on the 100 Constitution Hall/Grand Ballroom Level. The North Building of the MTCC is connected to the InterContinental Hotel, and just a couple blocks from the Fairmont Royal York and the Holiday Inn on King, putting all of the conference venues within easy walking distance. |
