We have opened our on-site office at the The Toronto Congress Centre, home of The 2007 Canadian Telecom Summit.
I like watching the set-up that is underway. Yesterday, there were about 25 people working on getting things ready for tomorrow’s opening. The big screens are up, the stages have been built and the registration kits are already prepared.
Something about watching all those people swinging from the rafters, stringing lights, sound equipment and WiFi hot spots. I need one of those scissor-type lifts to change my front hall light – what are the chances I could drive it home this evening and bring it back in the morning?
With more than 600 attendees this year, there is a lot of set-up required. Hall C is being transformed into our main meeting room with a breakout room being built at the back. There are a couple receptions in the courtyard on Monday and Tuesday evenings. It is also where we will have breakfasts and coffee breaks.
Coffee is one of the little details we look after with personal attention, right down to picking the specific roast from the supplier.
You will be able to catch daily news coverage in The National Post and other papers. The Post plans a preview in Monday’s paper and there is a special Telecom Summit supplement on Tuesday.
