BY HAND TORONTO ANNOUNCES MOVE TO SHERATON TORONTO AIRPORT HOTEL FOR JANUARY 2010

By Hand Canada’s Artisan Gift Show is pleased to announce that the 16th edition of By Hand Toronto will take place January 30 to February 1, 2010 at the Sheraton Toronto Airport Hotel. The Airport Sheraton is located at 801 Dixon Road between the Toronto Congress Centre and the International Centre that are hosting major gift shows at the same time (see map below). Bus Shuttles will be available to Buyers.

“This is by far the most convenient and attractive location we have had to date” says John Ladouceur, President of By Hand producer Signatures Shows Ltd. “By Hand has thrived downtown but all of us including Buyers and Exhibitors have always wanted a location closer to Canada’s major gift show. Now we could not be any closer unless we were actually in the Congress or International Centre . Buyers will appreciate the convenience of the Sheraton and will no doubt show up in record numbers.”

By Hand, Canada’s Artisan Gift Show is Canada’s leading marketplace for Canadian Artists, Artisans and Designers to meet qualified wholesale Buyers.

Applications to exhibit at By Hand Toronto are attached to this Press Release if you received it by e-mail and otherwise can be downloaded at www.byhand.ca.
