OAFC 2021 - Exhibitors
OAFC 2021 Virtual Trade Show week of April 26, 2021
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and provincial/municipal restrictions, we are hosting this year's event virtually. We will miss this annual gathering of our members, colleagues and friends and look forward to the day when we can meet again safely, in person.
About
Year after year, the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs (OAFC) Conference and Trade Show has proven that it is the must-attend event for fire and emergency services in Canada!
The OAFC Trade Show is integral to the conference, allowing equipment and service providers to connect with all levels of fire service personnel in Ontario's $1-billion fire and emergency services market. It continues to be one of the highest rated components of our annual event. According to a 2019 delegate survey, 95% of responses indicated that next to the educational component, the Trade Show is one of the most important elements of the conference.
The OAFC Trade Show is the largest and most successful gathering of fire service manufacturers and suppliers in Canada, offering trade show attendee’s direct access to your sales team to maximize product exposure and corporate visibility.
Exhibiting at the OAFC Trade Show helps you elevate your brand's profile, provides invaluable networking opportunities, obtain important leads, and generate sales to fire departments who use this. Don’t miss your opportunity to exhibit at the premiere marketplace in Canada for fire and emergency services!
