CPMA by the Numbers and Continuing Evolution
CPMA’s 89th Annual Convention & Trade Show in Vancouver is less than two weeks away! This April 2-4, exhibitors will be able to meet with over 250 companies, participate in the business and social programs, and capitalize on opportunities that will enrich industry knowledge and grow your business in Canada, according to a press release.
“CPMA has always been cognizant of societal and industry shifts. As a result, we continuously revamp our event and tailor it to the host city,” Ron Lemaire, CPMA President, tells AndNowUKnow. “I believe that is one of the main reasons our convention and trade show has remained so well attended and regarded.”
Here’s a quick look at how the event is shaping up, by the numbers…
· 442 - The number of exhibit spaces (10 x 10 ft) on the CPMA Trade Show floor in Vancouver this year.
· 250 - The number of exhibiting companies at CPMA’s 89th Annual Convention & Trade Show in Vancouver.
· 9 – The number of countries represented on the Trade Show Floor at CPMA 2014 in Vancouver.
· 44 - The number of First Time Exhibitors participating in CPMA’s 89th Annual Convention & Trade Show in Vancouver.
· 29 - The number of new CPMA members, exhibiting for the first time in 2014. All exhibiting New Members will have a floor decal in front of their booth so attendees can welcome to the Trade Show, and to the Association.
· 52 – The number of companies participating in the New Product Showcase.
· 118 – Unique international, national and local retailers registered.
· 2453 – The number of registrants to date.
“Ultimately, this is the largest convention and trade show of its kind in Canada,” Lemaire continued. “We have thousands of registrants from all over North America and more than a half dozen other countries. People come to learn what’s new, connect with their peers and discuss what’s going to be important to them moving forward. For us, it’s simply a pleasure to provide the industry with a great itinerant venue that gives our members opportunities they would not otherwise have. And we all have a little fun along the way.”
