Convention Meeting

There's a new green venue on the Toronto meetings scene. Located at the 192-acre Exhibition Place, the Allstream Centre incorporates state-of-the-art technology into its historical, 160,000-square-foot facility.

Following its multimillion dollar makeover, Toronto's former Automotive Building is now the go-to destination for special events and banquets. Its popularity is no surprise, seeing as how the Toronto venue boasts the largest ballroom in the city, seating up to 3,000 guests. It also offers 20 meeting rooms, capable of accommodating 50 to 750 people.

The Allstream Centre is committed to keeping events green, targeting to be the first LEED silver certified conference building in Canada. Eco-friendly initiatives include the use of low VOC paints, carpets and adhesives; an innovative white reflective roof; and food service that includes locally grown food and a perishable food donation program.

The Toronto conference center's functionality has not taken away from its beauty, which is a mix of old and new. The original terrazzo lobby floors, iron stair railings and tulip-shaped Art Deco lighting fixtures have been restored to their original glory. Meanwhile, contemporary elements, such as the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired design in the ballroom ceiling and 40-foot-high tavertine relief wall, keep things modern.

For Toronto meeting planners in need of even more meeting space, the Allstream Centre is adjacent to the popular Direct Energy Centre, which offers over one million square feet of space. Together, both buildings can comfortably house your next Toronto event.
