LE SALON NATIONAL « IMPRINT CANADA » CELEBRATES RECORD-BREAKING FIFTH EDITION 

September 12, 2026 – Le Salon National « Imprint Canada » celebrated a milestone fifth anniversary on September 2 & 3 at the Palais des congrès de Montréal, welcoming a record-high 1,043 attendees and continuing a remarkable trend of year-over-year growth since the Show’s launch in 2022. brbr

The record attendance reflects the strength of the Canadian promotional products industry in Québec, and the Show’s growing importance as a place for distributors and suppliers to connect, discover new products, share ideas and build business relationships. brbr

Post-show surveys have found that 100% of respondents so far have glowingly rated the Show: 47.4% as Excellent; 43.9% as Very Good; 8.7% as Good, while 96.6% stated that they already intend to return in 2027, speaking volumes about the value attendees see in the Show being in Montréal, and in the health of the industry in the province. brbr

The numbers tell an important part of the story — but the words of the people who experienced the Show tell it even better. brbr

This lets us quickly see all the latest clothing trends without having to order dozens of samples from various sources. There are also attractive discounts on different equipment during the event.
