TORONTO – The Woodworking Machinery & Supply Expo (WMS), Canada’s national woodworking show, is returning by popular demand to the International Centre, mere minutes from Toronto’s Pearson International, October 24-26, 2013.
The International Centre had hosted WMS for most of its more than 40-year history. In 2011 WMS was held at the Direct Energy Centre in downtown Toronto.
“We are happy to announce that WMS is moving back to the International Centre,” said Steve Reiss, vice president of Vance Communications ULC. “Our goal has been to book the venue that will best meet the expectations of attendees and exhibitors. While we were overall pleased with the results of WMS 2011 at the Direct Energy Centre, it became clear that a good number of exhibitors and attendees did not like commuting downtown or having to pay for parking.”
The International Centre is located a short drive from Pearson International Airport and includes thousands of free parking spaces. Hotels are plentiful and the allure of downtown Toronto is within a short commute after WMS show hours.
