FIRST EDITION OF TAVES IS A BIG SUCCESS!: The first edition of TAVES was a wonderful success! The positive energy of exhibitors and visitors was simply remarkable.

Now that we have established the right stage for TAVES we will continue working on growing and refining the event. Many of the companies that sat on the fence and decided not to participate at the first show have already contacted us asking for space availability for the next show - how wonderful! Ontario is Canada's largest consumer market and the potential for growth of our industry here is undeniable.
At last but not least, the King Edward hotel was very pleased to host TAVES. Our event was one of the biggest ever held at this prestigious hotel.
