The 2023 seminar schedule is currently under development!!

The Toronto Boat Show newsletters are the main source of communication. They come from this email address: chare@canadianboatshows.com so please add to your contacts and acceptable lists of emails. 

We are finding many exhibitors reporting that they don’t receive the newsletter, or it lands in their junk folder. We suggest to please check your junk or clutter folders periodically.

If you have not been receiving our Newsletters, please let us know to add your email address to the distribution list. If anyone else from your company should be receiving the newsletters, please send us their email.

Moving forward we will ensure the exhibitor newsletters are in a predominant spot on the website once the 2023 website is updated. Click Here for past newsletters.
