The Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC) is Canada's premier convention and trade show facility, located in downtown Toronto. Recognized globally, the MTCC plays a crucial role in driving regional economic growth by attracting international visitors and events, benefiting local businesses and the tourism sector. Offering excellent service, high-quality dining options, and a commitment to sustainability, the MTCC sets a high standard for event experiences. 

Strategically situated near major attractions, hotels, and entertainment, the facility enhances the attendee experience. Our in-house culinary team focuses on sustainability and local sourcing, showcasing Ontario's finest foods and wines. All of the wine and craft beer offered at events is locally sourced, along with 65 percent of our food. Many herbs and vegetables are grown in our very own Chef’s Garden. We also support our community by donating surplus food to local organizations. 

Despite industry challenges, the MTCC has rebounded to near pre-pandemic economic contributions, securing 15 citywide conventions for future years, a significant achievement. Our active membership in the Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC) reinforces our role in promoting national tourism and representing the industry, highlighting our commitment to being a leading partner in Canada's tourism development.
