“We first welcomed Jillian and Todd to the Vancouver Home + Design Show in 2013, and people have been asking when they would return ever since,” said Tyson Kidd, show manager for Marketplace Events, producers of the Vancouver Home + Design Show. “With our show’s permanent move to the Vancouver Convention Centre West happening this fall, we knew we wanted to make a statement – what better way to do it with Canada’s favourite home and design duo?”

“This fall’s Vancouver Home + Design Show is all about bringing big-ticket designers and local, accessible experts together under one roof,” continued Kidd. “Every single guest will be able to find a complete range of expert advice, products, ideas and inspiration, all under one roof. We can’t wait for them to see it.”
