We advise that you book your accommodation in Toronto as soon as possible. June is a very popular time to visit. Accommodation will go quickly, and the prices will increase.
Our main venue/meeting point is the St. Lawrence Market, so we advise not staying too far from this location so that traveling in for conference activities is not an issue.
We are finding more and more that people like to find their own accommodation rather than stay in a traditional conference hotel. However, as a courtesy we have rooms held in a couple of locations for conference participants, which can be booked on a first come, first served basis directly with the provider. Please use the links below to book.
Please note that we cannot guarantee accommodation for you. If these options do not work for you, we encourage you to check out some of Toronto’s many options for accommodation in the Downtown area which include a range of small and large hotels, and options like Airbnb and other short term rental sites.

We strongly encourage all attendees to be fully vaccinated or test negative for COVID (within 72 hours of arrival) before attending the conference.
Protocols, including masking requirements, will be decided closer to the event date based on case rates and local guidelines in the Toronto area and individual venues. Currently, masks are not required for events in Toronto, and rules are left to individuals and businesses to decide. Up to date guidance on Covid-19 in Toronto can be found here.
Unless anything changes around the time of the event relating to Covid-19 case rates and policies in Toronto, we will not be enforcing mask wearing at the event. It will be up to you whether you wish to wear a mask or not during event activities.
