(News Release)
TORONTO – The
modern gentleman finally has a show to call his own. The Gentlemen’s Expo (TGE)
(www.gentlemensexpo.com) is coming to
the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on November 22nd – 24th
and will combine a conference and consumer show for both men, and the women in
their lives.
TGE expects to draw over 20,000 attendees
and will be the must attend event of the year, providing a one of a kind
experience with 10 pavilions that will feature celebrity guests, special events
and the brands that matter most to guys.
“There isn’t a show out there that offers
something of relevance to the modern gentleman… so we decided to create one” -
Luca del Rosso, Co Founder of TGE.
Speakers confirmed for the weekend thus
far, include: W. Brett Wilson, Bruce Croxon and Jim Treliving
from CBC’s hit show Dragons Den, the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon
‘Bones’ Jones, and the man behind the success of the UFC Welterweight
Champion Georges St-Pierre, Firas Zahabi. Guests will have an
opportunity to see these celebs throughout the weekend within the various
pavilions featured at the show.
Other speakers you can expect to see are: Alan
Cross, celebrity chefs Rob Rainford and Chuck Hughes, and the
star of History Channel’s hit show Restoration Garage, David Grainger.
TGE will be hosted by Todd Shapiro.
Guests will have an opportunity to wet
their pallet, heighten their taste buds and snag some great deals from
participating brands like: Canadian Club, NewEgg.ca, Presidents Choice Black
Label, It’s Just Lunch, Dove Men’s + Care, GotStyle, and tons more.
“Basically, we are giving people an
opportunity to walk through the pages of their favourite magazine and
physically experience the content” - Settimio Coscarella, Co Founder of TGE.
One of the most unique features of The
Gentlemen’s Expo is that $5.00 of every ticket sold will be donated to Movember
Canada with a goal of raising over $100,000 to support Prostate Cancer research
and men’s mental health initiatives. This will culminate in their attempt to
break the World Record for having the largest gathering of men with a moustache
on Sunday, November 24th.
Tickets range between $30 for a day pass
and $60 for a weekend pass, and can be purchased online at www.gentlemensexpo.com.
