About us
Our growth
Since the first edition of The National Job Fair & Training Expo in September 2002, our numbers have been steadily growing to become Canada’s most important and influential recruitment event open to the general public.
While the volume of attendance is the largest in a recruitment event in Ontario, the volume of exhibitors is steadily growing—from 34 exhibitors in 2002 to 172 exhibitors in 2009; a 506% increase in 8 years!
Cumulative registrations in 15 editions since 2002:
- 1,745 exhibitor registrations (1,874 occupied spaces)
Most exhibitors are regulars. Their continued participation means a high level of satisfaction (average satisfaction rate of 98% in 15 events). This is definitely the key to our growth and the addition of new exhibitors brings us to new heights.
