The National Women's Show Ottawa

Founded in 2002, the National Women's Show is a semi-annual trade fair designed especially for women, focusing on a broad spectrum of female interests and needs. It is organized by the National Event Management Inc. and distinguishes itself with a diverse and vibrant mix of various thematic areas.

The fair takes place in two different locations in Ottawa: at the Ernst & Young Center in the fall and at the Shaw Center in the spring. Both venues provide a platform for numerous products and services, spanning the fields of food and wine, fashion, health, as well as wellness and beauty. The offerings range from conventional to organic and natural cosmetics, skincare, and fragrances from classic and new brands, through professional makeup, haircare, and nail care products, to high-quality styling tools such as straighteners, curling irons, and hair extensions.

In addition to focusing on physical products, the travel and experience section also presents a variety of offers like golf, fitness clubs, adventure sports, and spa retreats. Therefore, the fair addresses women of all age groups and industries and provides relevant content for both private individuals and professional visitors from the beauty, wellness, and health sectors.

The fair not only creates a unique shopping experience but also an opportunity for learning and discovery. A special highlight includes the learning and culinary phases, where experts talk about various topics such as financial planning, health, or vacation, and renowned chefs share their skills and knowledge. Additional musical performances, dance studios, and fashion shows make the event an experience for all senses.

However, the National Women's Show is not only present in Ottawa. It is part of a series of events that also take place in other Canadian cities like Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, and Quebec City. Thus, the fair contributes to bringing together companies and products from various regions and industries of the country and therefore also represents an important networking platform.

The fair offers an unparalleled opportunity for companies and brands to directly engage with their target group, present products, and receive direct feedback. Both local and supra-regional exhibitors are present, making the fair an important event for the entire industry in Canada.

In conclusion, it's worth noting that the National Women's Show is a significant event for the female population and the companies operating in the themed industries. Ottawa, as the capital of Canada, not only offers impressive locations with the Ernst & Young Center and the Shaw Center but also excellent accessibility and a myriad of opportunities to experience Canadian culture and hospitality. Visitors and exhibitors thus enjoy not only a comprehensive fair but also a charming city with a diverse offering.

The The National Women's Show will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 18. October to Sunday, 19. October 2025 in Ottawa.
