The Fraser Valley Trade & Exhibition Center or TRADEX provides a unique setting to hold breathtaking events that are impossible to forget. Situated in the heart of British Columbia’s picturesque Fraser Valley, TRADEX is the second largest facility of its kind in British Columbia and an industry leader to a growing market.

Managing your event has never been easier. TRADEX’s dedicated show office puts your event team front and center with easy access to the exhibit floor. The centrally located food court serves both sides of the complex through a connecting concourse, ensuring food service is within easy reach.
TRADEX also features “hanger-style” doors that accommodate everything you want to showcase. Our functional H-shaped layout lets you tailor the size of your events by choosing one hall or the entire complex with a continual traffic flow through both sides. TRADEX’s air-conditioned and heated space provides optimal comfort.
TRADEX lets you tailor the size of your event by closing off one of the 60,000 square foot halls, or opening up the entire complex with a continual traffic flow through both exhibit halls.
