CANADIAN CONCRETE EXPO IS BACK!

CANADIAN CONCRETE EXPO

Where: Mississauga, Ont. Venue: The International Centre

Exhibits: February 17-18, 2022

The Canadian Concrete Expo will be returning to The International Centre in Mississauga, Ont. on February 17-18, 2022, with its biggest show yet after a hiatus in 2021 due to the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.

The 2022 show will feature 300-plus exhibitors spread across 250,000 sq. ft. of show floor. The show is expecting more than 6,000 attendees at the 2022 show after the 2020 show experienced a 30-per-cent increase in attendees compared to the previous year.

“It has been realized by a lot of exhibiting companies that by having the break due to COVID where they couldn’t do trade shows for two years, the real value of these shows has shown through,” says Stuart Galloway, president of the Canadian Concrete Expo. “Demand from our side has been really high. We’re excited to showcase a great variety of products for concrete applications.”

Educational sessions are also returning in full swing with more than 40 sessions, presentations and live demonstrations to showcase how the latest products and best practices can enhance operations.

“We’re looking forward to a fabulous show and were very optimistic that’s going to be well attended and very successful to all,” Galloway says.

Canadian Concrete Expo is the only national trade show in Canada dedicated to the concrete, aggregates and construction industries.

The show will be following COVID-19 safety protocols, which are regularly updated on the Canadian Concrete Expo website. To stay up to date on the latest exhibitors, demonstrations, education sessions and safety protocols, visit www.canadianconcreteexpo.com.
