Thank you for interest in the inaugural 2025 Canadian Pawn Exposition.    The Expo was held on the weekend of October 3rd, 2025 at the Pantages Hotel in historic downtown Toronto. 

We were excited to provide class leading educational opportunities for our attendees.  This included a keynote presentation of “Hopebroker” by industry icon and international speaker: Yigal Adato.  Yigal is a highly regarded motivational coach, former pawnbroker, and the host of the Pawnleaders Podcast, with over 200 episodes!

Our educational lineup featured industry experts speaking on the following:

• • • “Crime and Insurance” by Simon Thomas of CJB Insurance
    • “Employee Development” by Trevor Rivett, Evergreen Traders
    • “Digital and Social Media Marketing” by Jeff Trimble of Pawnleads

Between educational sessions attendees hit the tradeshow floor, transacting with a dozen industry vendors and sponsors.  As a first in kind show for Canada our pawn attendees made new connections and vendors had record breaking sales as they onboarded new clients.    The event concluded with a luxurious dinner and evening cocktail social.
