The Welcome Reception with Technical Exhibitors offers the perfect opportunity to preview of this year's Technical Exhibit, the ASNR's annual showcase for the newest products and services for the field of Neuroradiology. Enjoy complimentary pre-dinner hors d'oeuvres and beverages while you learn about the newest technology.

This casual social setting allows plenty of time for informal discussion with company representatives. So bring your product and service challenges and come in search of solutions to the place where advanced technology and diagnostic and interventional neuroradiological excellence come together.

Evening of Comedy and Cuisine
Combine the cuisine of Toronto's many ethnic cultures, the comedy of the world-renowned Second City Toronto and the camaraderie of fellow neuroradiologists from all over the world and what do you get? A spectacular evening of fun, food and frivolity! During a pre-performance reception, enjoy an appetizer buffet highlighting the tastes and cuisines representing the many cultures from around the world that have found a home in Toronto.

Then settle in for a laughter filled performance provided by the Second City Toronto comedy troupe. This internationally famous institution noted for improvisation has been the launching pad for so many of the comedy world's best and brightest. Second City Toronto alumni include Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Mike Myers and Martin Short, to name just a few. Skilled at finding humor in the absurdity of everyday life, their satire can be appreciated by everyone. This evening's show will feature "The Best of Second City" sketches, a look at the field of neuroradiology through the eyes of these talented comedians, and a chance for audience interaction as they create sketches from ideas shouted from the audience.
