Your Travel Planning Guide for The MedTech Conference

Your Travel Planning Guide for The MedTech Conference

Welcome to your go-to guide for planning and attending the 2024 MedTech Conference in Toronto! AdvaMed is thrilled to host the conference for the first time in Toronto and the planning team has organized tips on navigating the schedule, travel to Toronto, great hotel accommodations and how to get the most value out of your registration. We hope you join us this October to connect with industry leaders and innovators at the premier medtech event of the year.  

Ensure Your Passport is Up To Date  

If you are traveling from outside of Canada, please remember to check your passport’s validity. Most countries require that your passport be valid for at least six months beyond the date of your trip. Ensure your passport is up-to-date to avoid any last-minute hassles. For those travelling from the U.S., the U.S. Department of State website is your go-to resource for the latest information. 

Traveling to Toronto – 8th Largest Medtech Hub in the World  

Getting to Toronto is hassle-free, especially for attendees coming from the United States. Toronto Pearson International Airport offers direct flights from most major U.S. cities like San Diego, Minneapolis, Chicago, Boston, NYC, San Francisco and more! This ensures a quick and straightforward journey. Once you arrive, the airport is just a short ride from the city center, and Union Station provides convenient rail connections for those arriving by train. The city also offers extensive subway and bus to make getting around efficient and simple. Whether you’re exploring the city or heading straight to the convention center, navigating Toronto is effortless and reliable. 

Downtown Toronto Hotels – Safe, Affordable and Convenient  

As Toronto gears up to host the 2024 MedTech Conference, we’ve arranged for excellent accommodation options near the Metro Toronto Convention Center (MTCC). You can choose from a selection of premier hotels with negotiated prices located within walking distance of the conference venue. These hotels are equipped with top-notch amenities such as fitness centers and pools, ensuring a comfortable stay. With competitive room rates and a variety of features, each hotel offers a unique experience to fit your preferences and budget.

The event kicks off with a welcome reception where you can meet the who’s who of medtech on the evening of the 14th, followed by three days of presentations, workshops, and panel discussions.
