IIDEXCanada, the country's national architecture and design expo and conference, will be celebrating its 30th anniversary at the Metro Toronto Convention Center, North Building on December 3-4.

The two-day event will include over 350 exhibitors, over 50 accredited seminars, and special feature exhibitions on multiple disciplines in the architecture and design community -- making the expo a great big opportunity to network, exchange ideas, and socialize. Another thing to make note of: David Rockwell and Daniel Libeskind are this year's keynote speakers.

"Attendees include professionals from the fields of interior design, architecture, construction, project management, property management, facility management, real estate, development, lighting, healthcare, hospitality, institutional, education, workplace, landscape, retail, industrial, textile and materials. Our 350 exhibitors feature products and services in the same fields...The event embodies all areas of design, real estate and construction. It is a place to be truly inspired, to connect in person and to discover new products and services."
