The 2002 Summer Furniture Market in Toronto has
been canceled due to lack of interest! According to Jean Francois Michaud,
executive VP of QFMA (Quebec Furniture Manufacturers Association) "The 2001
event didn't achieve its attendance targets...and the responses to our 2002
marketing drive were insufficient." The 2002 marketing plan
included a subsidized plane ticket for retailers attending the summer market.
Only 14 out of 450 manufacturers agreed to contribute to the fund. "This
proves one thing," Michaud said. "There's no need for a show in
June." The summer cancellation leaves just 2 regional
markets in Canada.
