Our Approach
Our Approach
KW Expo Productions creates shows where attendees explore, discover and gain knowledge from quality exhibitors. They are provided with informative educational seminars and have the opportunity for unique experiences in their own community. We believe that it is important to educate the community of the variety of services and products that are available and connect them to the necessary resources in order to enhance their quality of living.
We strive to foster an ethic of social responsibility within our communities and operate by the following guided principles: Professionalism, Authenticity and Organization.
Our Story
Our Story
KW Expo Productions has made some transformations over the past 17 years. Initially entering into the market, in the year 2000, as a corporate concierge service (Cardinal Concierge), then transforming to a corporate event management company ( Cardinal Conference & Event Solutions), and in 2017, has rebranded to connect to its niche market as KW Expo Productions.
In 2016 we launched our first show called the KW Pet Expo, and launched our second show called the KW Health Expo in 2018 which we have currently rebranded to the KW Women's Show to be hosted on March 13 and 14, 2021 at Bingemans.
Our team has over 50 years of combined experience in event management, human resources, legal and financial management, marketing and digital imaging. We are also a member of the Canadian Association of Exhibition Management giving our company a network of professionals with years of experience behind the scenes and a member of the Greater Kitchener Waterloo Chamber of Commerce.
Since we are a small company we have the flexibility to make changes to market needs and are able to provide customers with what they want quickly. Finally, we have passion—we love what we do!
