Canada minus hardware fair

The National Hardware Show will no longer be staged in Canada. For two years organisers Reed Exhibitions have tried to establish an offshoot of the Las Vegas-based National Hardware Show in Toronto. However, the fair’s popularity among exhibitors and visitors was apparently so minimal that the show is not going to be continued. Even before Reed Exhibitions became involved in Canada, Messe Frankfurt had also failed in its attempt to revive the hardware and DIY sector of the Canadian trade fair scene through its introduction of the H2X event.
