TIMBER MART Hosts Hybrid Buying Show for Second Year in a Row

 

With over 1,000 dealers and vendors in attendance, TIMBER MART hosted its national hybrid buying show for the second year in a row in mid-February, via its virtual cloud-based tradeshow platform, and at the Toronto Congress Centre.

“Once again this year, we saw very strong attendance and support for our show thanks to the virtual convenience it offered alongside the member-exclusive deals and great networking opportunities available,” said Bernie Owens, president & CEO of TIMBER MART. “The hybrid show format is proving to be a valuable and cost-effective option for dealers and vendors alike and is likely one that is here to stay.”

In addition to the hundreds of TIMBER MART stores in attendance, 227 vendor booths filled the virtual and 70,000-square-foot show floor at the Toronto Congress Centre. The show floor featured a wide range of show displays and attractions, including TIMBER MART’s pallet-buy area that presented a wide range of products for sale in pallet quantities. At the centre of the floor, the TIMBER MART area encompassed hubs for all of TIMBER MART’s services and programs, including TIMBER MART LBM Distribution, dealer marketing, merchandising and banner support.
