Exhibitor Information
Design City 2010 at Print World
Now in its fifth year, Design City 2010 continues to be supported by the success and experience of proven exhibition producers. This year, it will be featured as a "show within a show" at Print World, Canada’s largest print show, running for the last twenty years.
Design City will be highlighted as a special section within the Print World trade floor, marked with distinct signage, unique carpet, and drape colour. The trade show expects to attract over 10,000 attendees and over 1,000 graphic designers during the tree days at the Direct Energy Centre.
Design City conducts its own, separate registration to track the market demographics, job titles, and buying interests of its attendees. As a show within a show, Design City offers a special home for graphic designers, and a meeting place for buyers and sellers.
