MagNet conference moving to better venue in Toronto for 2011 event

MagNet, the annual industry conference, is changing venues in 2011. It will be held June 7 to 10 at the Courtyard Marriott, also in Toronto.

The move is an acknowledgement that the burgeoning event (doubled participation in the past four years) has outgrown the capacity of 89 Chestnut which in the 2010 event had difficulty keeping up with air conditioning and wireless demand.

"The entire Marriott facility has been renovated within the last two years; the guest rooms are comfortable, spacious and fully equipped; the meeting areas are elegantly appointed; the technology is robust and up to date; there is an onsite bar, restaurant, business centre and other guest amenities that will add value and comfort to the conference," Magazines Canada said in a posting on its website.
