“Sometimes we have to embrace change and our exhibitors have been requesting it for quite a long time. For them, that extra half day is a big deal,” Hurlburt said. “We want to work with all of our exhibitors and try to make the show a great one for everyone.”
Hurlburt said it means most exhibitors won’t be moving in until the Monday prior to the event instead of the weekend before.
“It just gave them a little bit less staffing on the weekends, that kind of thing, and a little less on some of the other costs that are associated with staying in Saskatoon for a trade show,” she said.
While many exhibitors are local, several come from out of town. Hurlburt said it was easier for them to get flights in on Monday.
