Come to Toronto!
The world within a city™ doesn't just refer to the wealth of dining, shopping and theatre experiences that Toronto has to offer; the personality of the city is reflected in this slogan as well.

Toronto is known as one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, and takes pride in the knowledge that they do not have to be homogenous to have a peaceful, thriving city.

Toronto's personality is an expression of its people. Rather than a melting pot, Toronto is represented by a mosaic of colorful cultures from around the world. Individuals often retain their cultural identities - complete with traditions, languages and customs - while extending a united hand of friendship, openness and pride to the world as Torontonians.

You'll see these personalities in the vibrant, quirky neighborhoods. You'll experience it in the diversity of the arts, theatres, and dining. And you'll find it in the smiles on the faces of the locals as they welcome you to this great city.

Metro Toronto Convention Centre
The Metro Toronto Convention Centre, the Annual Meeting venue, is Canada's largest convention centre, located in Toronto's dynamic downtown core. The Centre is surrounded by Toronto's prominent sports arenas including the Air Canada Centre and the SkyDome, attractions including the CN Tower, theatres, hotels, retails shops, and more. This will allow Annual Meeting attendees to enjoy the Toronto atmosphere while being updated on the newest clinical and technical developments in neuroradiology.

What to Pack

• Because meeting rooms will be air-conditioned and generally need to be kept cool to accommodate the large groups in each room, a jacket or sweater is suggested.
• If you plan to do any sightseeing, casual clothing is fine and comfortable walking shoes are essential.
• A jacket and tie may be required or advised at some of the finer restaurants.
