Conference location
Designed by Ray Moriyama of Moriyama & Teshima Architects, the Institute for Learning is comprised of four major architectural components: Presentation Hall, Learning Centre, Guestrooms and the Grand Hall. Everything to the south of the Grand Hall is functional (very traditional in shape and symbolizes the past), everything to the north of the Grand Hall represents the future. Ray Moriyama has consistently earned praise for his attention to the needs and purposes of the people who use the venues he designs. A more fitting and conducive venue for this conference could not have been chosen.

BMO – Institute for Learning
3550 Pharmacy Avenue
Toronto, Canada
Telephone (416) 490 4300
Fax (416) 490 4493
The parking is free.
The conference venue is 25 km from the downtown core of Toronto for those planning to visit the city before or after the conference. Evening shuttles will also be arranged between the conference facility and the downtown core for those wishing to sample Toronto’s nightlife. While we recommend that you stay on site at the IFL (single occupancy) or at the nearby Sheraton Parkway pre-booked for conference participants, those wishing to stay in a downtown hotel should expect a 25-30 minute travel time to reach the conference site. Taxis and car services are easily accessible (approximately $55 - $65 CAD).
