Exciting downtown location for PRINT WORLD in a safe,
clean and cosmopolitan North American city

The only print show to be held in downtown Toronto, Print World takes place in Canada’s finest venue, the Direct Energy Centre. Print World offers an unparalleled opportunity for Canadian, American and overseas visitors to take in a great show and conference—and enjoy themselves in one of North America’s most affordable, vibrant and fastest-growing cities.

Arguably the short-run printing capital of North America, Toronto has proven to be an especially attractive travel destination for American printers. With a greater Toronto area population base of more than five million and growing, Toronto is the media, financial, and manufacturing capital of Canada— and its largest print market.

Toronto is one of the most welcoming and accessible cities in North America. It is only a 90-minute drive from the U.S. border and is within a 90-minute flight from 60 per cent of the U.S. population. It truly lives up to the meaning of its native name: ‘meeting place.’

Toronto is heralded as one of the most multicultural cities in the world. More than 100 languages are spoken. Print World and Toronto welcome you.
