This year, the largest recruitment and career promotion event in Canada is presented in two stages. The National Education Fair and The Study and Stay Abroad Fair, which are intended to young people and adults, are presented jointly and are preceded by The National Job Fair, which is intended to adults. For 18 years, the three fairs form the largest gathering in Canada dedicated to education, vocational training, college and university study programs, career guidance, exploration of trades and professions, career choice and international mobility for young people and adults, as well as employment, continuing education and employment assistance and career development services for adults. In 2023, the event welcomed 433 exhibitors and more than 36,000 visitors combined in an incomparable atmosphere on a combined exhibition space of 127,700 square feet.
Montreal is the second largest city in Canada, Quebec's metropolis and one of the largest bilingual cities in the world (French and English) with a market of over 3.3 million people.
Be at the next edition of The Study & Stay Abroad Fair, which will be presented for the first time at the Palais des congrès de Montréal, on October 17-18, 2024. This change of location follows the closure of the Olympic Stadium for major renovation work announced by the government last February.
The INEO team, which has organized The Study & Stay Abroad Fair since its first edition in 2009, is also handing over the reins to that of Group Contex, which will now ensure its management and organization. INEO thus becomes the newest business unit of Group Contex, a Canadian leader in the organization of trade fairs, conferences and training programs as well as a publisher of high-profile publications and websites, whose head office is located in Montreal.
Exceptionally this year, The Study & Stay Abroad Fair and The National Education Fair will be presented separately from The National Job Fair, which will take place on October 2 and 3, also at the Palais des congrès de Montréal. The distinct presentation of the fairs is circumstantial due to the limited availability of exhibition facilities in Montreal, particularly this year following the closure of the Olympic Stadium.
The Study & Stay Abroad Fair, The National Education Fair and The National Job Fair are now events proudly presented by Group Contex, as well as the Salon de l’emploi et de la formation continue, also owned by Group Contex since 2022.
