This year would have marked the 30th anniversary edition of the BC Sportsmen’s Show, the province’s largest event for outdoor enthusiasts. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and in the best interest of the health and safety of our exhibitors, attendees, show partners, and contractors, we decided to postpone the event.

Originally scheduled to take place March 5-7, 2021, the next face-to-face trade show will now take place March 4-6, 2022 at TRADEX in Abbotsford, BC.

In an effort to bridge the gap until the next live event, we introduced an exciting new product: the BC Sportsmen's Show Digital Marketing Platform.  This online platform was designed to connect regular event attendees with the show’s exhibitors in a new way. Those who would have attended the show in-person could search the platform by company name, or filter by category. Exhibitor listings include detailed company information, photos, videos, product highlights, and any special offers or promotions they chose to feature. Users can easily connect by clicking email, website, and social media buttons.

The Digital Marketing Platform was promoted from March 1-31, 2021. This represented a significantly expanded timeframe from the typical three-day event and let users take their time to easily browse through the exhibitor database from the safety of their own home. The platform featured a variety of exhibitor categories including outfitters and guides, hunting equipment, fishing retailers, archery, fly fishing, cabins and cottages, and many more.  We have good news - the platform will remain online for you browsing needs even though March 31st has come and gone.  You can still look for your favorite exhibitors and compare all the brands online from the comport of your home, and make all your summertime plans!

Master Promotions Ltd. would like to thank the entire BC Sportsmen’s Show community for unwavering support during these challenging times. We continue to believe in the strength of face-to-face business and networking opportunities that shows provide and we look forward to hosting an in-person event again when it is safe to do so.
