DesignEx Trade Shows Formerly known as Table Top Trade Shows DesignEx trade shows are a great alternative to regular trade shows. They are cost-effective, intimate events where instead of a booth, companies are given a table top to showcase their newest or most popular products to qualified professionals and specifiers, including interior designers, architects and others from the industry. These events typically garner approximately 88% of Registered interior designers and are a great way for you to gain exposure and generate new clients. IDC runs this popular program nine times* with shows in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland. NEW!
