After the July 15th deadline, we will begin offering non-renewed spaces to exhibitors who have sent in their deposits, according to the allocation procedures.

It has been brought to our attention that faudulent calls and letters are still being sent to exhibitors.  Most recently Fair Guide The Exhibitors Directory Guide.  These parties claim to represent the Toronto Boat Show (re show directory advertising, hotel reservations), we ask that you remain cautious about entering into agreements or contracts, or releasing personal information - particularly credit card information - to any callers claiming to represent the Toronto Boat Show.

 

Please feel free to contact our office at any time to confirm if a caller is an official show supplier or to report suspicious calls.
