This page is for recording logistics like temporary lodging info, things to bring, and so forth.
Buses
From Mel Chua:
- Bus company: http://www.travelpackusa.com/
- Cost for 15 people: $525 per day (though I need to find out whether we're required to keep them to drive around Toronto; waiting for reply.)
- Bus company: http://www.sunshineboston.com/buscharter.html
- Cost for 15 people: $4300 (this is a 42-seater bus, which is all they have - but it does mean we can fit a lot more people in.)
From Chris Tyler: it's worth asking for a bus with AC power at the seats -- makes laptop users happier.
Venue
Seneca@York - 70 The Pond Rd, Toronto, Ontario
Saturday/Sunday - SEQ building
- 160-seat stepped theater
- 128-seat stepped theater
- Two large glassed-in rooms (roughly 60-seat capacity depending on layout)
- Four additional classrooms with flexible layout, 35+ seats each
Each room has at least:
- video projector with 15-pin sub-D (VGA) input
- dual-boot podium PC
Stepped classrooms also have document cameras.
Monday - TEL Building
- VR room - flexible config, 30-60 people (Barco floor-to-ceiling HD video projector)
- 12-seat conference room (no projector, can get a portable one)
- 8-seat conference room (projector with VGA input)
- 6-seat meeting room (no projector)
- Upper-K, 60+ seat glassed-in room
- Large classroom with round tables and chairs
Hotels
Two options look good so far (Chris is still negotiating):
- Hilton Garden Inn (HGI) Toronto/Vaughan - $129/night double occupancy, free King suite for hospitality (e.g., Hack Room)
- Marriott Courtyard Toronto Vaughan - $99/night double occupancy
Both hotels:
- Located at Hwy 7 & Interchange Way - 10 minutes by car or Viva rapid transit.
- Built within the last 3 years.
- Food options nearby.
- Free parking (including the bus).
- Complimentary Internet access. (The Marriott was less confident about their wireless, which is a possible RED FLAG).
Ground Transportation
- Seneca@York buildings are 8-10 minutes from hotel by Viva (2 stops). Rates are $3.25 cash or $26/10 tickets.
- Parking at York is abundant but expensive ($14/day). Parking at hotel is free, so attendees should consider the Viva option.
FUDPub
Possible locations:
- Dave & Busters - adjacent to hotel
- The Underground - on campus
