    Nuit Blanche-An All Night Art Exposition

    Meeting Rooms, Office Space Toronto, Toronto Mail Service, Toronto meeting rooms No Comments

    Nuit Blanche is Toronto’s annual sunset to sunrise celebration of contemporary art. This year will be the fifth year or Nuit Blanche and it keeps getting bigger with over 130 installations.

    Nuit Blanche was originally conceived in Paris, France. The name is translated universally as  ’Sleepless Night’. The idea was to bring contemporary art to the masses in public spaces.

    Last night I went to Nuit Blanche pre-party for a Nuit Blanche installation that is not on the official guide. It was held at a friends photo studio with over 60 people in attendance. With that many people, many chose to hang out in the large common area of the studio complex. The common area of the studio complex has couches and chairs, but also a great view as the big garage door was open. A part of that view was another group from the next studio down, they were outside in the parking area putting the final touches on their mobile Nuit Blanche exhibit. They had built a platform that held a small band and was pulled by a bicycle.

    As myself and others watched them working away, I struck up a conversation with a woman who turned out to be an art dealer from New York City. She was in Town for Nuit Blanche looking for new artists to represent and was invited to come to this pre-party for Morpheous’ installation. As we talked, I learned that she came to Toronto on business 6 or 7 times a year.

    She told me most of her business is conducted in her hotel room and at the studios of the artists she was looking at. When she needed to meet with corporate art buyers, she found her hotel room to be too impersonal, so she would rent out a small parlour in the hotel. She had considered renting a Toronto office space with Toronto meeting rooms, it was not worth it for the few times she was in the city each year.  She did not need a virtual office or a Toronto mail service, as all her contracts and business dealings were done through her New York office space.

    So I told her about the Toronto meeting rooms at my office space Toronto and the fact they had several conference room rental options. I told her they had reasonable rates for full or half day rentals, even good rates for non virtual office Toronto or Toronto mail service clients.

    Living and Working Downtown Toronto

    Meeting Rooms, Office Space, Toronto meeting rooms No Comments

    Downtown Toronto is really becoming home for so many people. Today I had a meeting not far from the St. Lawrence Market, so I parked my car at the “Green P” parking lot just down the street from the market instead of my regular place behind my downtown office space Toronto.

    After my meeting, I decided to leave my car at this downtown parking lot and walk to my downtown office. While I was walking this short distance from the St Lawrence Market, I noticed how many condos that were near by, as well as all the ones that were under construction. It used to be they wanted to tear down the Gardner Expressway to open up the view of the waterfront, now that is a mute point due to the condos that are even taller than this elevated roadway.

    As I was looking at all these downtown Toronto condominiums, I started to wonder how many of those condo owners or residence are self employed and how many would rather have a Toronto office space downtown, rather than running their businesses out of their home. For many people who want to live and work downtown, having a part-time office or a Toronto shared office would be ideal. They would have an office space to work in outside of their home, as well as access to Toronto meeting rooms, modern office equipment, and a professional receptionist to handle their calls as to their instructions.

    The more I thought of living close to my downtown office space Toronto, the more I realized that my need to own a car would greatly decrease. If I could walk to my Toronto office space everyday, I would only need to rent a car when I wanted to go out of town. I blogged a while back about Zip cars and now they are starting to look more and more as an alternative to automobile ownership, especially for those who work and live downtown Toronto.

    The Super Bowl 44 hype, but is it all about the Game?

    Toronto Office Space, Toronto training seminar room No Comments

    Next Sunday is Super Bowl 44, it is estimated that over 100 million people will be watching the game at some point during the game. Many of those millions of people are not even football fans. There are millions of people who will be watching Super Bowl 44 for the commercials. Companies pay millions of dollars for the various 15 or 30 slots or even more for a 1 minute slot. These advertisers make epic commercials that are meant as one off commercials only to be run during the Super Bowl . This was not true before 1984, when Apple Computers purchased a 60 second spot to introduce their new MacIntosh personal computers. They created a commercial like never before. The ad was a take on George Orwell’s 1984 and ended with the statement “ On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you’ll see why 1984 won’t be like 1984.“

    Today, advertisers still pay millions for the spot time for Super Bowl, but they often spend more on the production of the ad then they do on the ad time itself.   This is what draws more viewers to watch, just to see the high quality of the creative and the high production value of the commercials.

    Unfortunately, most people outside the USA do not see any of these commercials, but see local commercials that were not created for the Super Bowl. Now those Canadians who want to see those US commercials wait until the next day to watch them on the Internet.

    Telsec Toronto office space clients, have access to a 100 meg pipe connection to to the internet. This allows clients with office space Toronto at Telsec the ability to quickly download and watch the USA Super Bowl commercials when they get into the office on Monday.

    Some Toronto office space for lease clients at Telsec are even booking the training seminar room with the large projection screen, to watch the commercials on the big screen.

    The best part of watching the Super Bowl commercials at your Toronto office space is that the coffee, tea and filtered water are always complimentary.

    Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien And The Rest of the Late Night Fiasco

    Meeting Rooms, Toronto Office Space No Comments

    As I watch the goings on with Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien and the rest of this late night fiasco, I am reminded of a show back in the 90′s called “Battle of the Network Stars”. The big difference today is that the “Network Stars” who are battling it out, are all on one network NBC.

    NBC having realized the mistake they may have made by putting Jay Leno into prime time has decided to try to shuffle time slots and push the prime time Jay Leno show back one hour and then push subsequent shows like “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien” back an hour as well… then all of the other late night talk shows on NBC back as well.  This will make the Jimmy Fallen’s show starting around 3 am.  This move has just put the line up back to the way that it was before Conan O’Brien took over “The Tonight Show”.

    The more I read about the spin that NBC is trying to put on it and that the stars themselves are now making jokes and comedy bits about this decision, I can only think that NBC has hired some writers from the world of professional wrestling. Poor Vince McMahon over at the WWE (World Wresting Entertainment) can only be wishing that he could have come up with a story line like this to get the free publicity like NBC is getting from this battle.

    As I am thinking of this story, I can only think of what would happen at Telsec if a client with many years at the location gave up a board room booking.  The staff at Telsec would not try to push a newer client out of a board room or meeting room booking, just because the older client decided they wanted the time they originally booked (and then canceled) back. At Telsec the booking of boardrooms and meeting rooms is on a first come first served basis and there is no favoritism given to certain clients based on how long they have rented Toronto office space.

    Starbucks offers meeting room, but do they give you a professional look?

    Meeting Rooms, Office Space Toronto, Virtual Office Toronto 1 Comment

    It was recently mentioned to me that Starbucks coffee shops has some locations with private meeting rooms and wireless internet access. While it sounds great to be able to go to a local Starbucks and reserve a private meeting space, but how professional does that come across to your clients?

    I know when I want to have a business meeting and I do not want to bring people into my home office, I can reserve a meeting room at my downtown Toronto office space. As a office space Toronto client, I am able to have free Toronto meeting space. When I was a Virtual office Toronto client, I only had to pay a few dollars to book a meeting room when I needed it.

    Now Telsec business centre is offering low priced meeting room rentals to non clients. You do not need to have an office or a virtual office at 1 Yonge Street, to be able to rent a meeting room by the hour or by the half day (for several meetings). Being able to rent a meeting room in a professional office space in Toronto at a prestigious downtown address, gives your company a professional look and lets your clients believe you have an office in this great facility.

    To find out more about renting a Toronto meeting room in a professional office business centre, call Lindsay at (416) 363-9035 or email Lindsay@telsec.net.

    why use a Starbucks meeting room and have to pay $4 or $5 for a coffee?

    Because remember, at Telsec the coffee and tea are always complimentary.

    Sometimes when you need
