National Heavy Equipment Show confirms dates for 2022
Ontario Construction News staff writer
The producers of the National Heavy Equipment Show say the event, originally scheduled for this March, has been posponed until March 31 to April 1, 2022 at the International Centre in Toronto.
“While we looked at options to sustain the future of the event, it became clear that spring 2022 was our best option for this edition,” show manager Mark Cusack said in a statement last Thursday. “This is a timeframe which has historically worked best for exhibitors and attendees. Our main priority is positioning the event for a safe and successful return, and this decision reflects that.”
Given the size and nature of the show and the travel that comes along with it, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the postponement of the event due to the ongoing quarantine requirements, border closures, and the fact that many companies still have bans on corporate travel and in-person events have led to this date change, the show’s organizers say.
“Master Promotions Ltd. would like to thank the National Heavy Equipment Show community for unwavering support from exhibitors, visitors, sponsors, and partners. We look forward to hosting an in-person event again when it is safe to do so. We continue to believe in the strength of face-to-face business and networking opportunities that shows provide and unfortunately cannot offer that for the spring of 2021.”
The company says it has introduced the Canadian Heavy Equipment Showcase Digital Marketing Platform during the pandemic.
“This brand-new feature on our website is designed to safely bridge the gap, while our face-to-face events are on pause, by allowing you to promote your brand/product during this unprecedented time.
“The Digital Marketing Platform will be promoted to our extensive email database of 40,000 past show attendees, along with an integrated social media campaign, with support from all the leading magazines and industry associations.”
