6. We would like to have a free draw for delegates in our booth. Does the PDAC announce winners on the Convention Centre sound system?

Sales promotions and draws conducted by the Exhibitor must be free of obligation on the part of the winner. Only draws conducted by PDAC may take place on the show floor, in any public place other than an Exhibitor’s booth. Public announcements cannot be made on the exhibitor’s behalf and no area will be provided on the show floor to post prize winners.

7. Can I ship materials in advance of the show to my booth space? Do you accept material shipped in advance of the show?

GES Canada offers free 30 days advance warehousing to all exhibitors. Shipping crated materials to the advance warehouse will ensure that your materials will be delivered to the show on time, and will receive priority unloading status, since GES Canada has priority access to the loading ramp and docks during move-in.

If your materials arrive at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and someone from your company is not available to receive them, materials will not be accepted by PDAC staff, agents, their suppliers, MTCC staff and/or their contractors. You must only have materials shipped to your booth on your assigned move-in day when you are available to receive them. Please refer to your exhibitor manual for more detailed information.

8. Can I bring my children to the show?

Yes, children are welcome at PDAC 2009. Please note that during move-in/out, while heavy machinery is in operation, children under the age of 16 are not permitted on the show floor. Children 16 and under can attend free of charge.
