Eighth Annual Canadian Waste & Recycling Expo Dates Announced
With the location of the event in the popular West Coast location, the event organizers are following the overwhelming recommendation of the show's exhibitors, attendees and sponsors. The two co-located shows are scheduled to return to their traditional location in Toronto in 2006. The West Coast location will allow addressing new and currently underserved markets fro both the Waste and Public Works segments. The 2005 location will provide access to thousands of highly qualified attendees seeking exceptional products and services in the multi-billion-dollar industry.
The Vancouver Exhibition & Convention Center offers out-standing functionality in a spectacular waterfront setting. Due to its accessibility from major Canadian and U.S. destinations it offers an ideal location for exhibitors and attendees alike against the back-drop of an increasing awareness of environmental topics, waste treatment challenges and public infrastructure investment needs in the region.
The event is supported and sponsored by several prominent industry associations, including the B.C. Trucking Association - Waste Management Division, British Columbia Environmental Industry Association, Coast Waste Management Association, Composting Council of Canada, Ontario Waste Management Association, Recycling Council of Alberta, Recycling Council of BC, Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council, SWANA - BC Pacific Chapter.
A series of profession seminars sponsored by leading industry associations and publications will be offered in conjunction with the event. These will cover a wide spectrum of new technologies, industry trends and latest market developments. Seminars include hot topics such as "The History of Extended Producer Responsibility", "Classification of Wastes – TDG Versus The BC Hazardous Waste Revolution", "Biosolids Management", "Extended Producer Responsibility", and "Waste & Recycling: Injuries, Costs, Options".
The BC Trucking Association – Waste Management Division will hold their Annual General Meeting and Reception at the Vancouver Convention Centre on the first show day, October 26. Attendee registration for the trade show will be available online at www.cwre.ca.
The 2004 edition of the co-located events attracted a total of 4,129 attendees from 22 countries interested in exploring the latest products and services of 211 exhibitors representing 359 companies and product lines. Some 80 first-time exhibitors are expected to take part in the 2005 edition of Canada's industry-leading show.
