Thanks a lot to everyone who helped make Canoexpo such a great weekend. The exhibitors, speakers, staff and the public all contributed to an event with a great atmosphere.

Final attendance is still to be verified but it seems that nearly 5000 people made the effort and saw a huge range of products, services and speakers.

A full report and photo gallery will appear on the home page in the next day or so and details will be released in May about Canoepxo 2009

Thank you.
