The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and the
Ontario Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA) are teaming up
in Toronto, Canada to bring you the AAHA/OVMA Conference –
Toronto 2011.
AAHA’s Yearly Conference has been one of the most respected
forums for both scientific and management education in the veterinary
profession for 77 years. Established in 1933 by leaders in
veterinary medicine, AAHA is the only exclusive companion animal
veterinary association. Our mission is to provide veterinary professionals
with the resources they need to effectively manage their businesses
and deliver the best in companion animal care.
The Association has become known for its high standards in veterinary
medicine and quality pet care, and is dedicated to promoting
those standards within the profession through accreditation. The
AAHA brand is recognized internationally for excellence in veterinary
education, superior practice standards and unsurpassed professional
development.
The Ontario Veterinary Medical Association is the professional
association representing Ontario’s 3,300 veterinarians in private
practice, government, academia, industry and public service. The
association specializes in helping members improve practice productivity
and profitability. OVMA staff provide veterinary economic
consulting services to organizations across North America. The
Association’s annual conference and tradeshow is the largest annual
veterinary event in Canada, attracting more than 2,000 delegates
and exhibitors.

AAHA and OVMA members are at the forefront of the veterinary
industry, making them an incredible target for your products and

2011 means even more opportunity for exhibitors. Participating in
this international conference means you not only receive the service
and quality that the AAHA and OVMA conferences are known for,
but you become part of the largest annual veterinary gathering in
Canada as well. The AAHA/OVMA Conference – Toronto 2011
is your ticket to an international presence for your company. One
booth has never reached so far.
Each year, the AAHA and OVMA Conferences boast a friendly,
helpful environment with staff available to assist exhibitors with
questions or concerns. One-of-a-kind traffic building promotions
encourage attendees to visit the Exhibit Hall, growing your collection
of qualified business leads.
“As always, the OVMA is one of the best organized and
attended shows. It is also the biggest market for our prod-
ucts. I will say that the relationship between OVMA and Pfizer
is very positive and we have always found the OVMA recep-
tive to hearing new ideas and approaches.”
— John Hayward,
Pfizer Animal Health Canada,
OVMA 2009 exhibitor
The conference’s team-focused learning structure attracts more staff
from each practice than other veterinary tradeshows, giving you
access to multiple key decision-makers within one practice. Because
key contacts from AAHA-accredited practices attend each year,
you know you are exposing your products and services to the most
financially successful, technologically advanced and medically adept
group of professionals in the industry.
“The AAHA and Freeman staff were all wonderful — extremely
helpful and friendly. This is the first show we’ve ever set up
and they made the process very easy. We got great reception
from attendees and are looking forward to the next one.”
— Mychelle Blake,
The Association of Pet Dog Trainers,

Move-In
The AAHA/OVMA Conference – Toronto 2011
requires compliance with the legislation contained in
the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) as
governed by the Ontario Ministry of Labour. Certain
aspects of the conference move-in and move-out could
be interpreted as a “construction site.” This falls within
very specific regulations of the OHSA. AAHA/OVMA
and our contractors and venue management have
been advised by the Ontario Ministry of Labour that, at
the very least, this situation calls for the availability and
wearing of approved hard hats and approved safety
shoes/boots.
Ontario Electrical Safety Code
Requirements
It is a requirement of Rules 2-022 and 2-024 of the
Electrical Safety Code, a provincial regulation, that all
electrical products sold, displayed or connected to a
source of power must be approved by a recognized
certification agency in Ontario. Approved products
have been assessed to ensure that they meet the
safety requirements of the Ontario Electrical Safety
Code. Electrical products that do not bear the mark of
a recognized certification agency may be unsafe, and
could pose serious electrical shock and/or fire hazard.
Check electrical products to ensure that they have
been approved and meet the electrical safety standards
established for Ontario.
Look for the mark of one
of the following certification agencies:
• Canadian Standards Association (CSA)
• Entela
• Intertek Testing Services
• Met Laboratories Inc. (MET)
• OMNI Environmental Services Inc.
• Quality Auditing Institute
• TUV America
• TUV Rheinland
• Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC)
Failure to comply could result in the equipment being
refused connection to the source of electrical supply
and may even be ordered removed from the display.
More information can be found at www.esasafe.
com/pdf/ontario_amendments_canadian_electrical_
code_part_1_c22.1.pdf and www.esasafe.com/
GeneralPublic/epa_002.php?s=19.
Other Regulations
Fire hose cabinets and exit doors must be left
accessible and in full view at all times. All display
material must be flame-proof and subject to inspection
by the Fire Department. No inflammable liquids or
substances may be used or shown in the Exhibit Hall.
Booth Sizes and Decorations
The standard exhibit booth is 10’ x 10’ with an 8’
draped back wall and 3’ high side rails. We encourage
companies with island configurations (those 10’ x
20’ or above with aisles on all four sides of the booth
area) to have their layout reviewed by AAHA/OVMA for
compliance with show rules and regulations.
Booths are uncarpeted. Exhibitors must provide
appropriate floor covering or order carpet through
the decorator. Freeman is the official decorator of the
AAHA/OVMA Conference - Toronto 2011.
