Canada Blooms is co-locating with the National Home Show. This will bring some exciting changes to the Festival. First we will be growing from a 5-day event to a 10-day event.

Hello Canada Blooms 2011 Exhibitors

Thank you for your support of Canada Blooms!! 

The co-location agreement between Canada Blooms and the National Home Show is now complete and I can let you all know what that means for you.   The agreement to co-locate is not a merger, nor is Marketplace Events purchasing Canada Blooms.  Each event will maintain its own identity and operate separately, but in an expanded 598,297 square feet of space and in the same date pattern, for ten days, from March 16 – 25, 2012 at the Direct Energy Center making it the largest consumer event in North America.

Canada Blooms will continue to create their feature gardens, educational programs and floral displays, but in the larger Hall A of the Direct Energy Centre, which will allow it to expand to an even bigger garden footprint in 2012.  The Canada Blooms “Marketplace” will move into Heritage Court and Hall F.  The National Home Show will occupy the remainder of the exhibit space including Halls B, C, D, North Extension (Hall H) and the Industry Building (Hall G), where the feature home will continue to be located.

The Marketplace Events team will sell all exhibit space within both events, including the Canada Blooms “Marketplace” space in Heritage Court and Hall F,  while the Canada Bloom team will focus on creating the feature gardens, garden educational programs, creating innovative sponsor programs and floral displays.  Sponsorship will continue to be sold separately by each event although cross-over packages will be available for those interested in partnering at both events.  As part of the transition, I have provided The National Home Show with a comprehensive exhibitors list of what size booth you occupied last year and the rates that were paid.

As a convenience to consumers, a single admission price purchased for either event will allow attendees to visit Canada Blooms, The National Home Show or both events.  A recent audience survey confirmed that 47% of respondents have attended both events in the past and 62% indicated that the opportunity to see both events for one ticket price would make it more likely that they would attend.

Please welcome the calls from one of the following sales people of Marketplace Events;
Alex Morales – 416-644-5417
David Walton – 416-644-5455
Kelly Haney – 416-644-5461
Ricki Black – 416-644-5407
Roberta Smith – 416-644-5459

as they will be contacting you to select your booth space and sign a contract for the Largest Consumer Show / Festival in North America.

On behalf of all of the staff at Canada Blooms I would like to thank you for your support in the past!

Sincerely,
 
Gilles Bouchard
Marketplace Manager, Canada Blooms
