Show Update

To say that we are in peak volume of show season earlier than historical – would be an understatement!

 

Thank you to all returning and new Exhibitors for your patience as it is taking us longer than anticipated to re-allocate due to the number of requests for increases and location changes. The 2025 show is looking fantastic!

 

We are happy to share that we have made a lot of progress since the last newsletter. We have completed some aisle changes and size modifications to boat/bulk blocks in a few areas of the show. This required additional time with the goal of meeting as many exhibitors’ requests as possible.

 

We are extremely sensitive to ensuring we allocate based on a fair, transparent system and give much consideration to satisfying the needs of exhibitors to ensure everyone’s success. 

 

Most of the boat spaces have multiple dealers to coordinate and finalize decisions together with their manufacturers. Thank you for understanding the time we’ve needed consider all factors when handling requests. 

 

We are working as quickly as possible to update those exhibitors who are waiting for increases or changes.

 

After a very strong show in 2024, this year’s high renewals and new applications are great to see! 

 

If you are an Exhibitor waiting to hear from us about your request – we have definitely not forgotten about you. We promise to call or email you as soon as we can provide a clear update on your request.

 

If you are an Exhibitor that has already received a call about your space offer (or you will soon) – we would really appreciate if you can confirm accepting or declining the space offered in a timely manner, within a day or two at the latest. The more time that each company takes to decide, it delays the entire process of re-allocation for everyone else waiting. 

 

Thank you very much for your patience, and your help with this process. 

 

We are now entering our season of increasing the newsletter frequency. We know that you are winding down your busy season, and will have time to stay up to date on what’s planned for 2025!

Scam Alert - Exhibitors Beware!

It is unfortunate but a reality that fraudulent emails and calls reach Exhibitors with misleading information.


These annoying and frustrating emails and calls happen to almost every major trade and consumer show in North America. Please ignore them.


These parties claim to represent the Toronto Boat show but have NO relationship with the Toronto Boat Show.


We ask you to remain cautious and do not enter into agreements, contracts or release information to any callers asking:

  • to buy or sell database of consumers or other exhibitors
  • to help you book show hotels
  • ask you about the number of staff you have or how many staff members will be attending the show
  • for release of information about the number of boats and their logistics to and from the show
  • for credit card information for show guide listing or ads

Exhibitor Newsletters

2025 Show Newsletters

 

The Toronto Boat Show newsletters are the main source of communication. They come from this email address: chare@canadianboatshows.com so please add to your contacts and acceptable lists of emails. 


Some exhibitors report that they don’t receive the newsletter, or it lands in their junk folder. We suggest to please check your junk or clutter folders periodically.


If you have not been receiving our Newsletters, please let us know to add your email address to the distribution list. If anyone else from your company should be receiving the newsletters, please send us their email.


All exhibitor newsletters are located on the show's website, so you can also keep up to date on communications if your email filters don't consistently display them in your in-box.
