The continued growth of Landscape Ontario’s trade shows was confirmed with the release of the list showing Canada’s top 50 trade shows. Published by Tradeshow Week, the standings saw Congress move from 12th place to 11th, while Garden/Florist Expo went from 43rd to 42nd.

Paul Day, show manager, says both events continue to see growth. He reflected that when Expo began in 2000, many thought it would take away from Congress. “Over that time both shows have prospered and grown. It turned out Expo complemented Congress, instead of taking away.”
