Truck World breaks attendance records
TORONTO, ON -- Truck World, the largest trade show serving Canada's trucking industry, attracted 18,820 people this year - breaking several records in the process. "We attracted more people on each of the first two days than we did during the opening days of any previous Truck World," confirmed Joe Glionna, vice president of Newcom Business Media, which produces Truck World and its companion Expocam trade show and also publishes this magazine. "The crowds of buyers and exhibitors speak to the strength of Canada's trucking industry and the event itself." There were 14,862 visitors who walked through the halls of Toronto's International Centre from April 14 to 16, interacting with 3,958 exhibitor representatives in more than 400 booths. Saturday's "family day" numbers dropped slightly, likely due to summer-like conditions in the area, he added. The show also saw a noticeable increase in attendees from Canada's South Asian community, in a year when a new relationship was forged with JGK Media, Glionna said. The company's Desi Trucking magazine was named the show's official South Asian Media Partner.
