CANADA - DMG World Media has sold two of its gift shows to a Canadian trade association.
The Canadian Gift and Tableware Association (CGTA) bought the Alberta Gift Show and the Montreal Gift Show from DMG World Media (Canada), part of Daily Mail and General Trust.
The entire DMG show team will join the CGTA to produce the Edmonton and Montreal events from the association’s offices in Toronto.
Earlier this year, DMG New Zealand returned other gift trade shows Autumn Gift, Winter Gift and Spring Gift to XPO Exhibitions, from which the three were originally purchased.
The Alberta and Montreal gift shows have run for more than 40 and 50 years respectively. The Alberta show, taking place in February and August of each year at the Northlands facility in Edmonton, attracts around 12,000 attendees and 550 exhibitors.
The Montreal show, in March and August each year at the Place Bonaventure in Montreal, attracts around 8,400 visitors and 350 exhibitors.
