The Canada Women’s Expo, formerly known as the West Coast Women’s Show, is entering its 25th year with a proud history of connecting thousands of businesses with tens of thousands of show visitors. The Canada Women’s Expo is taking place at the BMO Centre in Calgary on October 4, 5 & 6, 2024; at TRADEX in Abbotsford on October 18, 19 & 20, 2024; and at the Edmonton EXPO Centre in Edmonton on March 15 & 16, 2025.
Building on the remarkable success of the 2023 West Coast Women’s Show at TRADEX, which saw 45-minute line-ups on all three days of the show and many exhibitors selling out entirely, we are thrilled to carry this momentum forward to Calgary.
Joining the Canada Women’s Expo means aligning your brand with a celebrated event that champions women’s entrepreneurship and empowerment. Our expos are not just events; they are platforms for growth, innovation, and community building.
As we celebrate this milestone year we invite exhibitors to take advantage of this unparalleled opportunity to position themselves at the forefront of the women’s market in Western Canada.
