This page is for recording logistics like temporary lodging info, things to bring, and so forth. Return to FUDCon Toronto 2009

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 (projector with VGA input, dual-boot podium computer)
  • Large classroom with round tables and chairs (projector with VGA input)

Hotels

Two options look good so far (Chris is still negotiating):

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.
