Welcome Reception

Wednesday, June 27
1730-2030
Please join us for a glass of cheer and help celebrate the opening of the 2012 IOA Congress. Meet at the Steam Whistle Brewery, a short 10-minute walk from the congress venue in the heart of downtown Toronto, at the foot of the CN Tower. The Steam Whistle Brewery is located in the historic John St. Roundhouse, which functioned as a Canadian Pacific Rail steam locomotive repair facility when it was first built in 1929, servicing steam locomotives that helped pioneer Canada. The Toronto Railway Heritage Association, located next door, has historic trains on site.

This is a great opportunity to network with our international speakers, special guests, sponsors and exhibitors. Renew old acquaintances and make new friends with colleagues from around the world.
