The 2022 GOLFEXPO is returning to an in-person event for the first time since the start of the Pandemic. The newly rebranded British Columbia GOLFEXPO will be held February 26 & 27 2022 at the Abbotsford Tradex. This new location boasts an additional 15,000 square feet of space over our previous venue, a more modern building, better parking at more economical rates, services 2.8 million people and is surrounded by dozens of golf courses. The Tradex was home to 84 consumer and trade shows in 2019, including several that welcomed more than 30,000 people making this new home an ideal location for the GOLFEXPO.
