WHY DX3?
This year, DX3 is evolving.
What was once Canada’s largest retail trade show is now becoming a more intimate, high-impact conference designed for deeper connections and richer conversations. Instead of large booths and crowded aisles, DX3 now offers intimate spaces, structured networking, and an all-new Cocktail Networking Reception designed to put you face-to-face with the people who matter most — decision-makers, innovators, and industry leaders.
Our exhibitors and sponsors will benefit from focused interactions, meaningful dialogue, and a setting that makes it easier to stand out.
Join us as we reset, refocus, and recharge Canadian retail — in a format built for connection and results.
