Current Exhibitors

Welcome Back!

At the Ottawa Valley Seed Growers Association, we are very excited to be planning ahead to the 2022 Ottawa Valley Farm Show at the EY Centre March 15-17.

As we continue to navigate the ongoing effects of the pandemic, final decision-making of OVFS22 exhibitor information will be completed a little later this season. We are watching closely the changing requirements of Ottawa Health Unit and Ontario Ministry of Health, and will be following those in place at show time.

Early in the new year, we will reach out directly to each exhibitor and confirm details with you. Exhibitors who left funds with us after the cancelled OVFS20 have a credit balance which will carry forward to payment of OVFS22 booth space.  Other exhibitor space has been reserved as in the past, and new exhibitors will be considered should space become available.

We will be in touch soon – look forward to seeing everyone again at #OVFS22!

Booth space cost remains the same at $5.50 per sq ft indoor and $2.50 per sq ft outdoor.
Carpets, curtains, electrical and furnishings are all additional.
Parking and WiFi are free to all visitors and exhibitors.

The Ottawa Valley Farm Show DOES NOT SHARE exhibitor contact information!

It has been brought to our attention that outside scammer companies have been contacting our exhibitors, asking for updated information, offering visitor lists, or in some cases, demanding payment. These scammers use the guise of confirming hotel bookings, or booking exhibitor space, and others. We want to emphasize that, the Ottawa Valley Farm Show has no connection to these activities, does not endorse them, and has not approved this solicitation in any way. If you receive an unsolicited email from an address other than @ottawafarmshow.com, we recommend you not respond. If you have any concerns please let us know.
