GENERAL INFORMATION
Exhibit Hall Activity
The Toronto Pharmacy Exhibit Day includes Pharmacy Managers, Dieticians, Opticians and Pharmacists from
Loblaw Corporation and Shoppers Drug Mart in Ontario and the Atlantic provinces – approximately 1,800
attendees. In order to maximize opportunities for interaction, the attendees will be scheduled to attend the
exhibits in “shifts”. Lunch is scheduled between 12:00 noon and 2:00 pm in Hall J, immediately adjacent to the
Exhibit Hall. Exhibitors are welcome to attend lunch.
Saturday Evening Event
After an exhilarating day at the Exhibits, Shoppers Drug Mart will host a social evening for our Pharmacists and
Corporate Executives. Representatives from each supplier company registered are invited to attend. See the on-
line website invitation and reply form for further information. Please ensure your representatives are registered
for the two complimentary tickets.

Draw Prizes
We encourage you to have draws at your booth. In order to participate, please supply your own ballot box and
ballots. The winning ballot should be drawn at 3:30 pm. Please bring the winning ballot and prize to the Exhibitor
Registration Desk at the conclusion of the Exhibit Program. The top 10 prizes (from a value perspective) will be
announced live at the Saturday evening dinner event with special recognition given to your company for the prize
donation.
Best Booth Award
A favourite event takes place annually when Best Booth Awards are announced. At each location, there will be
one winner announced for the booth with the best tie-in to the “Momentum and Health and Wellness” theme.
Our theme celebrates the passion and commitment that permeates everything we do and drives optimal health
and wellness, as well as the best customer experience in the industry. Award winners will be announced at the
Saturday Evening Event.
