There will be two move-in days: Tuesday, November 25 and Wednesday, November 26, 2025. Please review the move-in schedule below and note the days that apply to you. To simplify the move-in procedure, we have put together a list of move-in options with five different ways that you can move into the exhibit hall. 6-day exhibitors will be moving in on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, starting at 4:00am.The fastest unloading option with minimal waiting time will be to dolly from/to your vehicle in the designated offloading area. We advise that you pack your vehicle accordingly.Move-In Procedures To offload your vehicle, start by reporting to the Marshalling Yard (Lot TBC). Access is from New Brunswick Way. The Marshalling Yard will open at 6:30am on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, and 7:00am on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. You will be greeted by the Marshalls, who will ask you how you plan to offload (e.g., whether your vehicle needs a loading dock, whether you will dolly from your vehicle to your booth, etc.) and then they will put your vehicle in the appropriate line up. You will be released from the Marshalling Yard as space allows.Once you’ve offloaded your vehicle you can park it for free in (Lot 851 and 853). Parking in these lots is free on both Tuesday, November 25 and Wednesday, November 26, 2025. To park during show days, you will need to purchase a parking pass. Note, empty trailers and hitches can be parked for free in (Gore Lot 859), however if a personal vehicle such as a truck is attached then the truck must display a paid parking pass to avoid being ticketed.Move-In Schedule During move-in and set-up, all exhibitors must wear the move-in sticker badges that will be available at the entrances to the Show Floor.TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 258:00am 11-Day and 5-Day Exhibitors move in (excluding those in Rising Stars and Christmas Market).6:00pm No additional vehicles allowed into the building for the day.8:00pm Move-In ends for the day, exhibitors must exit the hall – no exceptions.WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 268:00am 11-Day and 5-Day Exhibitors continue moving in (including those in Rising Stars and Christmas Market).6:00pm No additional vehicles allowed into the building for the day.8:00pm Move-In ends for the day, exhibitors must exit the hall – no exceptions.THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 277:00am Exhibitors may enter the hall to make final touches to their booths before Show opening.

A limited number of dollies and pallet jacks are available for use at the show during move-in and move-out, on a first-come, first-serve basis. They will be located adjacent to the Exhibitor Entrance in the loading dock area. To borrow a dolly or pallet jack, you must be wearing your exhibitor badge and you will be required to leave one piece of identification and your booth number with our staff. You will be responsible for the dolly or pallet jack--if lost, you will be charged the replacement cost (approx. $1,000). Please return the dollies promptly, as they are in great demand by other exhibitors. Alternatively, you may bring your own dolly or pallet jack or have your boxes or crates on wheels.NOTE: Dollies and pallet jacks are not allowed on the show floor during show hours and they are not allowed in the Galleria of the Enercare Centre at ANY time.

The Enercare Centre provides an optional booth cleaning service. Exhibitors can choose from either a one time service or a nightly service. To order booth cleaning, please refer to the Enercare Centre exhibitor services portal linked through the Service Order Forms Page.

Your booth will start as a raw space, with concrete floors and a pipe-and-drape structure. These can be the building blocks of your booth, but we encourage you to think about the ways you can elevate your space to create a polished and professional backdrop for your brand.You may notice that the internal dimensions of your booth space are slightly reduced to account for the pipe and drape structure, which is shared with your neighbors. Your entire display--including tables, chairs, merchandise, signage, walls, flooring and you and your staff--must fit within the confines of the booth size for which you have been contracted.New clause this year to give some clarity for your booth planning: "No display may be arranged so that an exhibitor must stand in the aisle to conduct business."

About Copious: Copious is an upcycling brand that works with stained, damaged, unwanted or donated fabrics. By repurposing these items and giving them new life, designer Carissa McCaig keeps them from landfills while creating new one-of-a-kind designs for her customers to fall in love with. The One of a Kind Show has been the centre point to building the Copious brand. It has allowed me to get in front of lots of people, both at the Spring & Winter show, give my products the chance to be really seen. I would not have succeeded at this show if it weren't for the makers who took me under their wing and helped guide me to the right way to sell at OOAK. I am overjoyed that the mentorship program is back, it really shows that we are about community over competition!

What is PR?Public Relations (PR) helps share a brand’s perception, story, and information to the public through various media channels, such as traditional media (i.e. online, print, broadcast) and social media. PR results can be seen through online and print articles, interviews, broadcast segments, and influencer campaigns, to name a few.The PR team at Mint works closely with the One Of A Kind team to help generate buzz and increase awareness around the Show. The PR team focuses on reaching local and national media outlets (i.e. CP24, CityNews, Toronto Star, etc.) to showcase the Show’s artisans, their businesses, and the stories behind them.Prior to and throughout the Show’s duration, the Mint team continuously communicates with the media about the Show and its artisans to create and coordinate potential opportunities. To make these opportunities happen, we may request that artisans participate in an interview (live/virtual/email q+a), provide more info on themselves or their business, or provide product for a segment or giveaway, and more. However, everything is done to the comfort level of the artisan.The OOAK PR Team (The Mint Agency):
