Accessibility
We want every guest to move through an event here comfortably. This page sets out what is accessible, what is not, and how to arrange what you need.
Accessible features
The conference centre provides accessible entrances, event spaces, elevators, washrooms and parking, with Para-Transpo pickup and drop-off access.
- Accessible entrances at the main and back entrances
- Accessible event spaces across both halls and the atrium
- Elevators serving the first and second floors
- Accessible washrooms on both floors
- Accessible parking in the underground garage, at no cost
- Para-Transpo pickup and drop-off at the venue
Routes that are not accessible
The indoor skybridge connecting the Hampton Inn by Hilton to the conference centre is not a wheelchair accessible route. Guests requiring accessible hotel access should contact our team in advance so we can confirm the route that will work for them.
If any part of your programme depends on a specific route between the hotels, the halls or the second floor, tell us when you book and we will walk it through with you.
Parking and arrival
Accessible parking is available in the heated underground garage, close to the elevators, at no cost. Para-Transpo picks up and drops off at the venue.
Full driving, parking and transit information, including a printable page for your delegates, is on our Getting Here page.
Arranging accommodations
Tell your sales manager about accessibility requirements as early as you can. Room setups, seating, stage access, interpretation and dietary needs are all easier to plan into an event than to add on the day.
Our banquet and event teams can adjust table spacing, aisle widths and seating positions to suit guests using mobility devices.
This website
We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA on this site, including keyboard navigation, text alternatives for images and sufficient colour contrast. The site also respects your operating system's reduced motion setting, which turns off the animated transitions.
If you encounter a barrier on this site, or need information from it in another format, contact us and we will provide it.
Feedback
We welcome feedback on the accessibility of our venue and our website, and on how we can do better. You can reach us by phone, email or post using the details below, and we will respond as quickly as we can.
