Google blows my mind.


Description

Innovation Toronto is housed in a large, solid brick building. The entrance to the building is on Eastern Avenue. You'll see two sets of stairs. Take the ones on the right. Once you enter the building, walk up 2 flights of stairs, and follow the posted arrows. It's not as crazy as the IADT maze, but it's close.


About Innovation Toronto

From their Website: "Fostering creative and innovative approaches to community and social issues while presenting interesting articles on a variety of innovative initiatives." We told them about our event, and they instantly offered to host it - FOR FREE. They have been unbelievably generous and supportive of our event. Without their support, TOJam #3 would not be possible. We are hoping Innovation Toronto becomes our permanent home.

Eastern Avenue is INSANE!

Important: There are TWO Eastern Avenues.
I repeat: There are TWO Eastern Avenues.
Check the map if you don't believe me. But wait, there's MORE!

Google Image Search never disappoints.

Eastern Avenue Issues


Summary

Driving & Parking

Google Maps and the Eastern Avenue clarifications have everything you need. The parking lot to the west of Innovation Toronto should be open and available. You can also park on Eastern - no meters and normally no problem with being there over the weekend. It's an industrial area, hence there are no neighbors that will file complaints about cars parked overnight. We'll try to provide more clarity as the event draws closer.
