Corporate Events in Downtown Toronto with DMA Events
Downtown Toronto is where much of the city's large-scale corporate event activity happens. The Financial District and Entertainment District form the heart of the core, and Union Station sits at the foot of the financial district on Front Street, between York and Bay. The Fairmont Royal York and the Metro Toronto Convention Centre are both on Front Street West.
Events here run on tight load-in windows: a hotel ballroom gala, a convention-hall trade show, an office tower lobby launch. Choose a format that fits the room and the clock, and confirm dock, elevator, and power details with the venue early.
