We invite you to show the industry what you’ve got at CRFA’s 2012 shows in Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax. As an exhibitor, you’ll be part of the most comprehensive industry trade shows in the country. But most importantly, you will connect with thousands of qualified buyers who come each year to see “who’s who” and sample “what’s new” in the industry. CRFA gives you more ways to “Show Your Stuff”

Being an exhibitor is one of the most cost-effective ways to promote, sell, introduce and demonstrate all that’s new with your company in 2012.

Our exhibitors also have the opportunity to sponsor industry seminars and workshops, culinary demos by celebrity chefs, receptions, competitions and much more. CRFA offers many levels of sponsorship for you to choose from. Ask your show manager for more information about sponsorships.
