IIDEXCanada, which was founded in 1984 by the Association of Registered Interior Designers of Canada (ARIDO), will feature 1,600 exhibits occupying 200,000 square-feet of space of the Convention Centre, and offer 350 seminars and demonstrations that highlight the latest innovations from the design and architecture industries. IIDEXCanada will also be presenting more than 50 professionally-accredited seminars, parties, award ceremonies and tours.
