There's no upcoming hosting related 'shows' in Toronto anytime soon I'm afraid.
I'm hoping to try to arrange another small get-TOgether though for WHT members one of these days.

The last one was fun

Hopefully we'll see HostingCon move outside the states sooner or later. It's very peculiar for a global service conference to be stuck in one or two cities. Toronto, for me, is the best place in North America for a conference of any decent size. Hotels galore, international airport, lots to do. Heck, Montreal would be great, Halifax too (if it's good enough for two presidents, it's good enough for me ).

Unfortunately, it appears HostingCon is going to remain a US based conference for the time being.

Believe me, we'd love to do more than one HostingCon per year and have one or more in countries outside the US. Unfortunately, we have to be realistic from a business standpoint and make sure that the demand for attendance is there. In addition, a lot of the exhibitors who sell products and services to hosted services companies are small and it would be hard for them to exhibit at more than one HostingCon per year. We have to make sure we also have enough relevant exhibitors to do more than one show.
