Welcome to the 1st annual Canadian Astronomy Trade Show (AstroCATS)
MAY 25th & 26th 2013
At Sheridan College
Athletics Centre
Oakville, Ontario
AstroCATS is the 1st show of this kind in Canada
and ideally situated as an alternative for attendees who would otherwise need to
travel to New York or Chicago to get their astronomy “toy fix”. For many, it
will be the first convenient opportunity to attend a world class display of
products that they have only seen as photographs on a website.We
believe that there is a real tangible benefit to ours guests and vendors to the
bragging rights that come with being there at the very beginning.
Held just 15 miles West of Toronto (only 55 miles North of Buffalo, NY), at
Sheridan Community College in Oakville, Ontario, AstroCATS is a 2-day
event featuring the largest commercial display and sale of telescopes and
related astronomical products in the Canada. Because of its proximity to the US
border we anticipate a large attendance from Upstate New York, Pennsylvania, and
NE Ohio.
We expect AstroCATS to
rapidly become the world’s largest networking platform where manufacturers,
suppliers, and vendors have the opportunity to build partnerships, expand
their relationships, and showcase new products for the upcoming year.
Outside of the trade show area we will also host a conference featuring
leaders and acknowledged experts in various fields with the intention of
fostering pro-am collaborations. We present a unique opportunity for
attendees to network and learn from both amateur and professional
astronomers.

is much better than seeing a mere photograph on a website.
There will also be seminars, guest speakers, and fabulous door prizes!
