Touted as Canada’s largest National Design + Architecture Exposition & Conference, IIDEXCanada is returning to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC) later this month. Part of a series of expos that highlight various elements of the design, real estate, and homebuilding industries—presented under the combined banner of "The Buildings Show"—IIDEXCanada will bring together over 30,000 industry professionals including interior designers, architects, facility managers, and real estate agents.

Starting on November 29th at the MTCC alongside the Construct Canada, World of Concrete Pavilion, HomeBuilder & Renovator Expo and PM Expos, IIDEX—presented in partnership with UrbanToronto—will feature over 1,600 exhibits that visitors can explore at their own pace, as well as more than 350 programmed seminars, panels, keynotes and roundtables led by over 500 industry professionals. These will cover a variety of topics and issues, including building codes and regulations, sustainability, new approaches to construction, and design trends in housing.
A keynote presentation by James Binning and Maria Lisogorskaya of the London-based design collective Assemble will discuss the firm's design methodology and offer insight into Assemble's fusion of art, architecture, materiality and urbanism. For those that prefer a hands-on approach to learning, IIDEXCanada will be offering guided tours of various buildings including the new Deloitte space at the Bay Adelaide Centre, and Cisco's space at RBC WaterPark Place III.
