CHEERS FOR 10 YEARS!!

The first TOGS event was held Feb 23 2014, making this our 10 year anniversary. Every show gets a little bit bigger and better and last years’ event was by far our most successful and well attended to date. Our recent survey shows that over 85% of our attendees come for the shopping. We offer free trade show admission and do a great job of advertising our vendor list. As suggested in our vendor feedback survey from 2023, we are adding a Trade Show Classroom component in 2024. This will be a designated area for vendors to do demos, mini seminars and/or product/service Q and A’s. This will be free for all attendees with topics and times scheduled and advertised. Also new in 2024 we will have staggered unloading times during set up hours allowing larger booths to have earlier access to the venue.

ABOUT THE SHOW

The T.O. Grooming Show is scheduled for May 3rd to 5th at the Mold Masters SportsPlex in Georgetown Ontario. It is the longest running show in Canada. It is Groom Team Canada sanctioned, gives away over $10,000 in cash and prizes, has seminars and workshops, and hosts world renowned speakers and judges. Our show boasts more vendors and shoppers than any other show in Canada.

ABOUT THE VENUE

In 2018, we moved the show out of the downtown core to a much larger location and have had an overwhelming positive response from all attendees. The new venue is just 30 minutes from Pearson International Airport and offers us room to grow. The main area is a 16,000 sq ft hockey rink surface, has a spacious and well lit competition ring, lots of room for holding areas and a large private seminar room. It also provides easier loading and unloading for vendors, tons of free parking, grassy areas, a concession stand on site as well as many restaurants nearby.

ABOUT THE AUDIENCE

Toronto is the fourth largest city in North America, and the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) has a population of over 6 million people. This is the 10th year for the show and with each event it is improving and growing. Our facebook page has over 2000 followers, we have almost 700 names on our email list and we had well over 500 attendees at the last show in 2023.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITOR SPACES

A standard 10ft by 10ft is $500, and additional spaces are $250. All fees are plus 13% HST. Spaces are arranged in an oval around the rink, with the competitions in the middle. A limited number of spaces will have hydro access available for an extra charge. Please bring everything you need for your space including tables (limited tables are available for rent).
