Meet The Team

KATHRYN REILLY
CEO | CANNEXPO

Kathryn Reilly is an innovator in the trade & consumer show industry with an impressive resume of consumer show start-ups and over 25 years of experience.

Kathryn produced the first large-scale consumer bridal show in Canada, the National Bridal Show in 1982. The show quickly expanded its frequency to twice per year, at Exhibition Place and the International Centre, Toronto. This early success led to her expanding the model to her other interests. She started the Success with Gardening Show in 1994 at the International Centre, Toronto. BabyTime, a consumer show for expectant and new parents, launched in 1998 also at the International Centre. All three shows were huge hits and exist today with new owners. Kathryn founded Social Web Media in 2015, a boutique web design and social media agency.
