Grocery & Specialty Food West (GSW) 2026 — Trade Show Display Execution at Scale

April 21–22, 2026 | Vancouver Convention Centre

This year’s Grocery & Specialty Food West at the Vancouver Convention Centre was a powerful demonstration of what Lionheart Display does best: delivering bold, high‑performance trade show environments for leading food, beverage, and grocery brands.

With four major exhibits on the floor—each with its own architectural language, fabrication requirements, and engagement strategy—our team showcased the capacity, precision, and craftsmanship that define our work.

Here’s a look at each booth and the execution behind it:

  • The Vibe: A bright, commanding presence designed to draw attendees in and encourage interaction.

  • Design Details: Featuring vibrant lightwalls, a highly visible hanging sign, and custom graphic counters, this space was optimized for maximum brand impact.

  • The Result: An inviting, visually striking environment that firmly anchored Nestlé's footprint on the show floor.

Lactalis Canada

Booth 1015

  • The Vibe: The ultimate intersection of form and function for a culinary-focused brand.

  • Design Details: Built around double-sided lightwall 3ft islands and a massive double-stack hanging sign, the exhibit centered on a large, fully equipped food service counter.

  • The Result: An adaptable, high-quality environment that perfectly framed McCain’s brand and product offerings.

A Showcase of Capacity, Craft, and Consistency

Executing four large‑scale exhibits at a single show requires coordination, precision, and a team capable of delivering under pressure. Our technicians, fabricators, installers, and project leads brought every detail to life with the level of care that defines Lionheart Display.

GSW 2026 was a reminder of what’s possible when bold ideas meet disciplined execution—especially on one of the industry’s largest stages.
