Not the best place for music concerts - acoustics in the convention center is very much like being in a gymnasium. Facility is kept pretty clean. Drink prices pretty steep for this venue type $8 for a 6oz glass and $10 a domestic beer.

Great venue - always clean and professional! Lots of parking and located further from the tourist district to avoid congestion. Great place to host a variety of events from conventions and markets to gala events. They also have locations to charge smartphones which is an added bonus, and Scotiabank ATM machines, as well as their own mini cafeteria/coffee station.

Host of the yearly Cheer Evolution National Championship. Its always a packed house. Hallway is super crowded, lined with vendors for all your cheer needs and accessories. Entry price is on the steep side, cost $50 for my daughter and I for one days admission. (Two day competition)

Great for a conference or large event. I've been to several at this location. Within easy walking distance of several hotels. Large rooms are all well equipped. Even with lots of people, the facility always seems roomy. Staff are also friendly, attentive, and helpful.

Nadim, a Google employee and local guide extraordinaire, recently toured the Scotiabank Convention Centre where he was exceptionally satisfied with the free wifi. Fast. Secure. Free. Those are 3 words that Nadim loves to hear.

Nice building, not impressed with the food quality, staff in charge of the food were not friendly at all. Alot of technical difficulties with audio during speakers, missed most of a lecture as they accidentally locked a door preventing people from reaching the room.

We saw Steve Michael's doing Elvis Presley here. This is a fantastic theatre for watching the show as all the seats are tiered and makes it easy to watch the show. The Elvis impersonator is the best and is a must see if you are an Elvis fan.

We went for fan expo. Parking on site is reasonable $10 . If you can find a spot. Lots to see and it seems fairly well spaced out. We also came here for a show in the auditorium. The show was good, acustics we're ok , seats were ok. But all in all a good experience with my kids.

I was at Comic-Con on Sunday and i wanted to bring something to the attention of management.
At about 3:30 on the afternoon of 6/09, a gentleman in a mobile scooter began having a heart attack/ seizure. Family members were calling for help and attendees were calling for security.
about 9 1/2 minutes later, a tall dark guy was slowly walking down the hall with an onsite medic yelling at people to get out of his way all while the gentleman in the scooter was convulsing.
1st, 9 minutes for security to arrive to the main entrance where there should have been security manned already, for an emergency is irresponsible.
2nd, this was a mans life on the line, there should have been ALOT MORE urgency then walking down the hall.
3rd, when i brought up my concerns to a manager on site, he laughed at me and stated that 10 minutes for on-site security and an on-site medic to arrive was normal. i stated that he was having a heart attack and there should have been more urgency. The manager smirked and said it was only a seizure , showing no concern or care for this gentile mans well being.
This venue needs to do a WAY better job at handling issues when it comes to attendees. If that was my family member, and he passed away, there would be a huge lawsuit.
They need to reanalyze how their staff responds to emergencies because the incident at Comic-Con this past Sunday was handled irresponsibly by Security, medics and management.

aside from that, nice venue

The traffic trying to get into the convention center was unbelievable. We waited for well over an hour to pay $10 after sitting in lines of waiting cars. The seats in the ballroom for the event were small, not very comfortable and stained. The audio system was cutting in and out all throughout the presentation. The restroom availability was also inadequate. Very disappointing.

Saw the production of Beauty and the Beast. Seating was comfortable and spacious. Snacks were welcomed and delicious! The lobby was beautifully decorated for the holiday season. I just wish that if they are going to charge so much for parking, it would be a lot closer than it was to the Centre.

I attended the Tim Hicks concert on Friday night . I was and I could see by people's expressions, they too were expecting that this was going to be a seated concert. Much to our surprize and disappointment . This was an overcharged venue for what people had to endure for 3 hours . Except for the small section of couches along the back wall people were expected to stand for this! Nowhere in the advertising of the concert was it stated that it was going to be this way. Had this been stated I am sure there would have been less people there then there were.
I myself will never again attend such a venue . The bands were awesome , and would go see them again , but not in such a setting as what I attended Friday night

Attended a 3 day conference at this location. The place was great, the food on the buffet was well stocked and also enjoyable. The rooms upstairs was really great and also the theatre and ballrooms. Some times the wifi was a little hard to connect to but it would sort out in a few minutes. Must have just been the number of people on it.
