COVID 19 Update

Plans are proceeding for WMS 2021 as Ontario announced it will be entering Step 3 of its Roadmap to Reopen on July 16th, five days earlier than anticipated. According to the Canadian Association of Exposition Managers, "the news is very positive and the light at the end of this long tunnel is becoming brighter as we move through each phase of reopening."  Like all major convention centers throughout North America, the International Centre has been working to put in place new health and safety measures in anticipation of opening its doors to events as soon as public concerns about the coronavirus outbreak have waned. 

The CAEM said that Ontario will remain in Step 3 for at least 21 days and until 80 percent of the eligible population aged 12 and over has received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and 75 percent have received their second, with no public health unit reporting less than 70 percent of their population fully vaccinated.  Once these thresholds are met, the vast majority of public health safety measures, including capacity limits for indoor and outdoor settings, will be lifted. 

WMS 2019 attracted attendees from 9 Canadian provinces and 2 territories.  The 2019 edition featured 75,000 square feet of exhibit space and more than 175 exhibitors.  VIEW THE WMS 2019  OFFICIAL SHOW GUIDE.
