Session
Exhibits
Exhibits are a prominent
feature of each General Conference Session. In order to make
the exhibits effective, the space and infrastructure are crucial.
For Toronto 2000, Session management is excited about the exhibit
facilities. Within the exhibit area, you could fit three-and-a-half
football fields. The exhibit space will consist of a Promotion
Hall with 282 booths, a Commercial Hall with 243 booths and
an adjoining room of 10,000 square feet for the Adventist Book
Center.
The exhibits will be
housed in a section of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre that
opened in July 1998. The Convention Centre is located next
to SkyDome, where the Session will take place. This part of
the Convention Centre is all underground with streets and a
park at ground level. The exhibit floor is the equivalent of
eight stories below ground level, yet so spacious that you have
no feeling of being on the lower level. There is a loading
dock for 14 large trucks at the exhibit hall level with a spiral
drive down from the street. To say the least, Toronto has a
convention center that will more than meet our needs.
The first exhibit that
will catch your eye as you enter the Promotion Hall is the Theme
Exhibit. This is a gift of art from our Canadian Adventists
that will be unveiled on opening day. The Promotion Hall will
be filled with exhibits promoting the many ministries of our
world church. Examples of booths in this area will be:
The exhibits will be
open Sunday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. The
Promotional Hall will be open Sabbath afternoons from 2:00 p.m.
until 7:00 p.m., so weekend visitors will be able to enjoy the
exhibits.
The Commercial Hall was
established for those who are selling a product. However,
we are now booking overflow promotion exhibits in this hall.
You must visit the commercial exhibits just for the fun of seeing
what they have to sell and how you can help your organization.
Examples of the exhibits in this area are:
