• Space Notes With two floors of event space, the Gallery provides options for corporate event planners to utilize the main floor alone or include the mezzanine, all for the same rental price. Cocktail events with minimal furniture other than high-top tables and 1 or 2 bar set ups can easily accommodate up to 200 people. Theatre style seating for presentations or AGM’s can be set up on the main floor for 80-90 people, depending on AV requirements. Gala dinners on the main floor can accommodate up to 90 people for plated menus and 80 people for buffet. * Please note that due to the changing nature of our exhibitions there may be considerations that restrict how the space can be used; stand-up cocktail receptions can always be accommodated. The Hummingbird Gathering Space located on the mezzanine level offers 600 square feet of open space for meetings, workshops, or presentations. This semi-private space is closed off to the public by curtains and stanchions when in use. It can accommodate 10-25 people depending on configuration and AV requirements.
