Assuming you arrive on Wednesday, May 2nd, dinner
will be available in the dining hall from 6:00-8:00 P.M. Look for
other STEP folks there starting at around 7:00, or, if you arrive
late, you may find some of us in the lounge adjacent to the front
desk. Your two-night room cost includes all meals, snacks and non-alcoholic
drinks in the lounge (alcoholic beverages are available at reasonable
cost), access to their superb fitness facility with large lap pool,
hot tub, gym, fitness machines, etc. Because our per-night rate
includes a prorated amount for Thursday's interactive dinner, please
check with Ian MacNeil
(416-490-4345) for an alternate rate if you're only staying one
night or staying elsewhere.
On Thursday, May 3rd, will begin our "formal"
meeting at 8:00 a.m., adjourning for the day at around 5:30 p.m.
Jay Cross will be our guest on Thursday, welcoming us to the world
of Informal Learning via interactions spotted throughout the day.
Thursday night's "interactive dinner" is a special treat
arranged by Malcolm Roberts and the IFL's chefs.
On Friday, May 4th, we'll meet from 8:00 until noon. Those who don't
have to rush off to the airport are welcome to stay for lunch.
Send agenda input to Stan.
Consider topics you're willing to prersent, questions you'd like
the group to discuss, and items you plan to cover in roundtable
discussion. I need:
Your name and company:
Topic title:
Brief description:
Estimated duration:
A/V needs:
Meeting Location:
Bank of Montreal - Institute for Learning
3550 Pharmacy Avenue
Scarborough, Ontario, M1W 3Z3, Canada
We'll
be meeting at the Bank of Montreal's Institute for Learning (IFL)
in the Toronto suburbs. It's your call whether you rent a car and
drive or take a taxi/limo. Once at the IFL, you won't need a car
so in the long run, a taxi is definitely cheaper and less hassle.
Ian MacNeil says, I just use the Limo stand at the airport (taxi
and limo flat rate fares are generally equal at the airport), however
if pre-booking we sometimes use Cullitons: www.cullitons.com
Fly
into Toronto's Pearson International Airport. (Yes, I know
it's the Bank of Montreal, but we're meeting in Toronto.) If coming
from the US, don't forget your passport and picture ID.
Driving
from the airport to the Institute for Learning:
-
Follow exit signs out of airport.
- Take
Highway 401 EAST.
- Take
Highway 404 NORTH.
- Take
Steeles Avenue East Exit.
- Turn
right onto Steeles Avenue.
- Turn
right at second major intersection onto Pharmacy Avenue.
- Turn
right into the IFL property (first driveway on right after you
turn onto Pharmacy Ave.)
- Park
in back of the building where you'll see the lobby entrance. Check
in at the desk.
I'd be very
glad to hear directly AND get your input to the agenda!
Hotel Arrangements:
To reserve a room, all you have to do is tell
Stan your plans. I'll submit a master list to the IFL.
