About us
Our growth
Since the first edition of The National Job Fair & Training Expo in September 2002, our numbers have been steadily growing. 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 September 2002 to 172 exhibitors in September 2008; a 506% increase in 6.5 years!
In 13 editions and in five years:
- 1,434 exhibitor registrations (1,545 occupied spaces by exhibitors) (cumulative)
- 138,200 attendees (cumulative)
The numbers below make us Canada's most established, comprehensive and largest recruitment fair open to the general public (adult candidates) and the leading event in the recruitment marketplace in Ontario.
