DRUID Discoveries
Thursday June 26, 16:30-19:00
Make the most out of your time in Toronto! DRUID invites conference delegates on trips that are sure to stimulate and relax before the conference dinner. The excursions are not included in the conference fee and registration and pre-payment is required. Please see your online conference profile.
All excursions will begin at the conference venue and end at the DRUID DINNER venue. Please register for only ONE excursion.
DRUID Discovery 1: City Walk! Classic sightseeing with a twist
OPEN FOR REGISTRATION
Pre-registration required. Please register online under DRUID25 / MY REGISTRATION on your DRUID profile.
Join us for a city walk through the neighborhoods of Toronto, covering some of the city’s classic sights, and potentially a few ventures off the beaten path. It will be two hour's lovely, relaxed walk, offering the guides' personal views on the city, local history, as well as few tips for unusual sights. We will also enjoy a drink in one of the guide's favorite haunt before we end at the DRUID DINNER venue.
Guided tour. Refreshments will be provided. Depending on the weather, remember your sunglasses and/or umbrella.
Pick-up: 16:30 at main conference venue (Rotman School of Management). End: 19:00 at the DRUID conference dinner venue (TIFF Lightbox).
DRUID Discovery 2: Cycle the 6ix! Bike excursion
OPEN FOR REGISTRATION
Pre-registration required. Please register online under DRUID25 / MY REGISTRATION on your DRUID profile.
With their varied neighboorhood and scenery and nearly 800 kilometers of cycling facilities, the six municipalities of Toronto (”the 6ix”) are great to explore on two wheels, and around a fifth of the city’s residents now cycle on a daily basis. Toronto offers plenty of safe and fun cycling options, so join your fellow DRUIDs when we set out from the conference site and travel on bike lanes along city streets down to the lake front, and then enjoy the off-road paths that offer ever-changing views of the city and the lake. There is, of course, also time to catch a drink en route to the DRUID DINNER venue.
Guided tour. Refreshments will be provided. Bikes and protective gear included. You dont need to be an ardent cyclist to join.
Pick-up: 16:30 at main conference venue (Rotman School of Management). End: 19:00 at the DRUID conference dinner venue (TIFF Lightbox).
DRUID Discovery 3: Just DRUID! Your own way
No registration required – stroll, swagger, or take a taxi at your own initiative and leisure.
Disappointed by the rocky beach in Nice at DRUID24? Head to the sand in Toronto’s Beaches neighborhood! Not awestruck by Lisbon’s Forte de Sao Juliao da Barra at DRUID23? Revel in Toronto’s Fort York! Underwhelmed by Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid statue at DRUID22? Go on the prowl for some high-class sculpture in Toronto! Tired of pretending that soccer/football is interesting? Visit Toronto’s Hockey Hall of Fame!
In other words, wind your own way through Toronto, until you arrive at the DRUID DINNER venue (TIFF Lightbox). Please arrive by 19:00.
