What’s Interesting?
Of the many displays, talks, presentations, and training, here’s what we found interesting:
Opening Night Party at IDS 2019:
What a great party!! The floor was buzzing with over 5,000 guests, 185 media including Torontoartsandevents. Top Canadian attended. Patrons took in the design inspiration, danced to music by Performance by Miguel Migs Featuring Lisa Shaw., and sampled food from the best restaurants Toronto has to offer.
