The Trade Show is the highlight of the year for the Association and our members. Each year a great deal of time and effort goes into the planning and preparation of this major industry event. We have made some changes to the show floor this year that will enhance the booth displays and make it easier than ever to check out all the exhibitors.
This spectacular one-day event enables exhibitors to showcase their product and service to the owners and managers of residential rental property in Calgary, and the surrounding area. For the owners and managers it provides an excellent opportunity to browse, see what services and products are available in the marketplace and speak with industry professionals, all in one convenient location.
Please check in at the registration desk when you arrive so that you can pick up your passport, with exhibitor list, booth locations and map of the Trade Show floor. As an added benefit, many of the exhibitors will be conducting in-booth demonstrations throughout the day and this information will be listed in your passport.
Join us for some exiting and very informative seminars during the day. There is no cost to attend, and seating is on a first come-first served basis, so arrive early to ensure you get a good seat. The seminar area will be located at the south end of the Trade Show floor.
