Consisting of approximately 192 acres of parkland with many historical buildings that are owned by the City of Toronto and managed by a board of governors, Exhibition Place is venue to more than 100 special events and trade and consumer shows annually.
More than 4.5 million visitors frequent Exhibition Place annually; 1.8 million of which are generated through the trade and consumer show activities of the Direct Energy Centre (formerly the National Trade Centre). With the addition of The National Trade Centre (now called the Direct Energy Centre), a state of the art exhibition facility that offers more than one million square feet of contiguous display space that can accommodate as a many as ten different exhibitions simultaneously, Exhibition Place has matured from a day-stay attraction to a year-round multi-day destination.
