INDUSTRY PARTNER PARTICIPATION

Participation by our diverse Industry Partners is welcomed to broaden the scope of the Show and provide a positive educational experience in new areas for all attendees. Exhibiting in the MIAC and PAL show will provide a forum for the organizations to promote their services and activities in a unique Canadian environment, consistent with the aims and objectives of the Association and the Show.
