One side of Teknion’s 900-square-foot IIDEX/NeoCon Canada booth was defined with translucent fabric. The translucent scrim allowed intimate viewing of the product within the booth, while attracting attention from the outside by giving a hint of the activity within.
Three Innovation Awards for new products… a Silver Award for the booth… a round table that attracted standing-room-only crowds and industry praise… and these were just some of the highlights for Teknion at IIDEX/NeoCon Canada, held September 22-23 at The Direct Energy Centre in Toronto.
“Our IIDEX booth was just as big and bold as every one of our efforts in previous years,” says Candace Samuel, Manager, Design Services, Canadian Marketing. “Our booth made a clear statement to everyone attending the show - that Teknion is just as committed as ever to the Interior Designers of Canada (IDC), the Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario (ARIDO), IIDEX and our industry. We are truly a team player.”

Teknion’s 800-square-foot booth featured the District furniture system, Altos wall, Teknion dna modular lounge seating, Livello height-adjustable tables, and Contessa and Visio seating.
“NeoCon East continues to be a top-notch show for Teknion,” says Gina Dispenza, Tradeshow & Event Manager. “It’s definitely our industry’s largest commercial furnishings exposition and conference in the Mid-Atlantic region, plus a great forum for office, healthcare and educational furniture. The show focuses on the federal design community. With the federal government specifying more than $1.5 billion in furniture annually, you quickly realize the importance of a strong showing by Teknion at NeoCon East.”
NeoCon East 2011 - the largest commercial furnishings exposition and conference on the East Coast of the United States - was held November 2 and 3 at the Baltimore Convention Center. Organized by Merchandise Mart Properties, the show attracted approximately 7,000 industry professionals, who took in the products and services offered by more than 250 companies occupying 185,000 square feet (17,200 square meters) of exhibit space manufacturers. While not walking the show floor visitors took in over 30 CEU-accredited seminars, association forums and keynote speakers.

There was no mistaking which of the 1,700 booths at Greenbuild belonged to Teknion. The world’s largest show dedicated to green building was held recently in Toronto.
Can you imagine Teknion exhibiting at a trade show that attracted 23,000 architects, interior designers, facility managers and environmental types from around the world and not showing any office furniture product? That’s exactly what the company did at the 10th annual Greenbuild International Conference and Expo - the world’s largest conference and expo dedicated to green building - at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, October 4-7, 2011.
Greenbuild was not the first time that Teknion exhibited at a major industry trade show without furniture. The first occasion was IIDEX, also in Toronto, in 2006.
