The Toronto National Women's Show 2024

Last years show was better. This year we decided to be prepared and bring a bag on wheels with us so we could shop comfortably. By having a trolley bag if we go to a booth and want to buy something that my be heavy or cumbersome to carry throughout the show then we could put the item purchased in the bag and keep on shopping instead of making a note to try to come back before we leave the show. This year the show producers thought it would be a great idea to ban the use of wheeled bags, making it more difficult to shop and hurting the vendors bottom line. Instead they opted to do a blatent money grab by forcing people to use the coat check to check their wheeled bags. Though clearly there were some people that were the exception to the rule. Its terrible, I was planning on shopping alot but i decided not to buy much because I did not want to get too tired from lugging things throughout the show.

Hi, to whom it may concern. Thanks in advance for the great work and time that such an event involves. A constructive critique; Woman's show 2023, felt like a flee market. Very disorganized. Juice boxes to products for the face. All mixed together. No flow at all, booths were to tide and one on top of the other. It should be separated by sections as an example: All drinks in a section. Food (sweets and desserts separated from food ). Clothing away from cheese cakes. Personal care fare from food. Sausages sold beside nails! I am even surprised that such a mix was permitted specially after Pandemic. Now-days that should have been carefully handled. The market at all levels suffered 3 consecutive years. Thanks for organizing it, but it is still a long way to go for it to be considered an International show.

I enjoyed tyd exhibits but didn't care much for the main stage shows

I got to share ideas with colleagues in the same business

Best to take city transit. Don't drive! Bad idea. Parking was so difficult to find. Underground parking filled up fast. And very expensive if lucky to get one. It took us an hour to get parking and still had to pay full entrance fee.
