Meeting planners know that sometimes it takes a little something extra to convince event attendees to register "Yes" for conferences and conventions. Your event agenda may be solid, full of educational seminars and networking opportunities, but what about activities outside the boardroom? An opportunity to visit a world-class museum exhibition, catch the latest Broadway play, or dine at the hottest new restaurant may be just what attendees need as an incentive.
Check out some of the current and upcoming Toronto events. In addition to being great activity suggestions for your meeting registrants and their guests, many of them are held at popular Toronto event venues, making it easy for planners to bring the fun right to their attendees!
• The Royal Ontario Museum, the largest museum in Canada, is hosting several once-in-a-lifetime exhibitions including Out of the Vaults: Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead (until October 18); Light & Stone: Gems from the Collection of Michael Scott (until November 15, 2009); and Dead Sea Scrolls: Words that Changed the World (until January 3, 2010). Toronto event planners can host private functions for 10 to 2,000 people against the backdrop of these priceless collections.
• One of the top luxury hotels in Toronto, The Drake Hotel is also a great Toronto venue for dining and relaxation for both hotel guests and visitors. From October 27 to December 31, 2009, The Drake's signature Lounge, redesigned in 2007, is the place to see and be seen for Cocktail Hour, held Monday through Friday from 5 to 7 PM. Specials include $5 draft beer, $4 mixed drinks and appetizers such as fried shrimp and pork belly sliders for $5 to $7. After your event attendees enjoy a few drinks, invite them to a evening dinner at the hotel's Room 222, which offers full audio-visual amenities, custom teak wood ceilings and walls, and Toronto private dining space day and night.
• A celebration of Canada's most beloved sport, the Hockey Hall of Fame is one of the most popular attractions in Toronto. On November 8, it will certainly be the place to go, serving as host to the Hockey Hall of Fame Legends Classic. Part of the hall's Induction Weekend, which pays tribute to its newest inductees, this game matches the Canada Legends versus the World Legends in a battle of all-stars. Held at the Air Canada Centre, tickets start at C$26.
