Information for attendees


Canadian Dollars

1.00 Canadian Dollars = Approx 0.75 US Dollars

While some Canadian businesses may accept U.S. currency, it should not be expected. You will receive Canadian currency for your change and often at a less favourable exchange rate than at a bank. It would be prudent to acquire Canadian currency beforehand.

Credit Cards

Most merchants in Canada accept credit cards. Visa and MasterCard are the most popular and American Express is not as widely accepted. You should always carry cash with you in the event that your foreign card is rejected by a business.

Power Requirements

Canada’s electrical supply and electrical outlets are the same as those found in the United States.

The electrical supply is 110 Volts and 60 Hertz.

WiFi

WiFi is available in your hotel room and on both conference levels. Further instructions will be provided upon check in.
