Toronto Congress Centre
The Toronto Congress Centre (TCC) is the largest convention centre of its kind in Canada. It is located in Etobicoke, Ontario at 650 Dixon Road, near the Toronto Pearson International Airport.
The Toronto Congress Centre opened in 1995 as the largest in Canada, with close to 500,000 square feet (46,000 m²) of exhibit space. However, it was surpassed by both the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (600,000 sq ft in 1997) and the International Centre (1 million sq ft in 2002), following various expansions and renovations at those venues.
The Toronto Congress Centre has since expanded its exhibit space to over 1 million square feet (90,000 m²) with the addition of a second building (a vacant industrial building purchased in 2006), north of the current building (referred to as the North Building). In early 2008, it regained its title as the largest convention centre in Canada.
The Toronto Congress Centre boasts 60 meeting rooms, 2 ballrooms (one being pillar-free) and 10 divisible exhibit halls, all equipped with the latest technology and amenities. The convention centre is also HACCP certified and is one of the only trade and convention facilities in North America to receive this certification, denoting the highest standards in food preparation safety. Their cuisine is prepared in-house by their 5-star Executive Chef and culinary team. Parking is currently free for all attendees. This site is also chosen because of its proximity to Toronto Pearson International Airport versus rival downtown convention sites.
