Network, discover ideas and explore resources during IFAI Canada Expo 2004

(Roseville, Minn. * July 14, 2003) The Canadian specialty fabrics industry's annual opportunity to network, discover ideas and explore resources, IFAI Canada Expo 2004, will be held Feb. 26-28, 2004 at the Sheraton Parkway Toronto North in Toronto, Canada.

IFAI Canada Expo 2004 participants will have extensive networking opportunities throughout this event including the opening reception and a local tour. The trade show floor, which will feature cutting-edge industry products and services, will be a prime venue for professionals to explore leading-edge technologies and resources.

For a special niche market learning experience, event participants can attend the Marine Fabricators Association (MFA), a division of the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI), regional workshop held in conjunction with IFAI Canada Expo 2004 on Feb. 26. This workshop will focus on new techniques in marine fabrication.

IFAI Canada Expo 2004 comes on the heels of last year's record-shattering event where nearly 500 people participated and 40 supplier companies exhibited their products and services. Industry anticipation for IFAI Canada Expo 2004 has been building since the close of last year's successful show.

"(IFAI Canada Expo 2003) was a great networking opportunity right in our backyard," said David Murray, Tentes Fiesta.

IFAI Canada Expo 2004 is organized by IFAI Canada, a country sector of IFAI. The purpose of IFAI Canada is to promote the welfare of the Canadian textile industry, improve the status of association members in the community, and to benefit users of Canadian industrial textile products.
