International Centre hosts Canada’s largest trade shows—auto shows, home shows, industry conferences, tech expos. 6100 Airport Road, Mississauga. 400,000 square feet across 7 exhibition halls. The logistics problem nobody talks about: your exhibitors arrive from different Toronto hotels, your attendees fly into Pearson, your VIP clients expect executive service. DIY coordination fails at scale.
5 minutes from Pearson Airport means flyover attendees need immediate venue access. 25km from downtown Toronto means hotel shuttles require professional coordination. We handle International Centre event transportation—exhibitor booth setup runs, attendee hotel shuttles, VIP executive service, multi-day conference coordination.
Let me show you exactly how professional event shuttle service works for International Centre trade shows and conventions.

Pearson Airport to International Centre (5 Minutes)
International Centre’s location adjacent to Toronto Pearson Airport creates unique logistics advantage for flyover attendees and exhibitors. Your international clients land Terminal 1 or 3, we pick up curbside, deliver to 6100 Airport Road in 5 minutes. No downtown Toronto traffic, no 45-minute highway drives.
Common scenario: European exhibitor lands Pearson 8am, needs booth setup by 10am show opening. Executive sedan waiting at arrivals, 5-minute transfer to International Centre, exhibitor on-site with time to spare. Professional Pearson Airport pickup coordination.
We monitor flight arrivals, adjust pickup timing for delays, coordinate with event organizers on hall access requirements. Seamless airport-to-venue service for international trade show participants.
Group Event Coordination
Hotel Block Shuttle Service
Conference attendees staying downtown Toronto hotels (Sheraton Centre, Fairmont Royal York, Intercontinental). We coordinate morning shuttles to International Centre, evening return service. 50-200 attendees across multiple hotels = strategic Sprinter van deployment.
Exhibitor Booth Setup Runs
Multi-day shows require early exhibitor access for booth construction. 6am-8am setup shuttles from Mississauga/Airport hotels to International Centre. SUVs for equipment transport, Sprinters for exhibitor teams. Professional logistics coordination.
VIP Client Entertainment
Exhibitors entertaining key clients at International Centre shows. Executive sedan pickups from client offices, venue delivery, standby during event, return coordination. White-glove service matching corporate hospitality standards.
Multi-Day Conference Packages
3-5 day conferences require daily shuttle coordination. Morning pickups 8-9am, lunch break optional, evening returns 5-6pm. We coordinate with event planners on session timing, adjust schedules for keynote overruns.
Real Example: 150-Person Industry Conference
Scenario: 3-day manufacturing conference at International Centre. Attendees split across 3 downtown Toronto hotels, VIP executives need separate service, exhibitors require early booth access.
- Day 1-3 Morning: 10 Sprinters coordinate hotel pickups (15 attendees each), staggered 8:00-8:30am departures, arrive International Centre 9am conference start
- VIP Service: 3 S-Class sedans handle C-suite executives separately, direct office pickups
- Exhibitor Support: 2 SUVs run booth materials from warehouse to venue 6-7am setup window
- Evening Returns: Same fleet coordinates 5pm departures, hotel drop-offs by 5:45pm
Total investment: Fleet coordination managed by single account manager, professional invoicing with event codes, seamless 3-day execution. This is what separates professional event transportation from Uber chaos.
