The Great Canadian Tint Expo is coming to Niagara Falls, Ontario, April 3–4, 2027. Discover Canada’s major window tint, PPF, vinyl wrap and detailing expo featuring competitions, vendors, sponsors, products and industry professionals.

The Canadian automotive aftermarket industry continues to grow, and window tinting, paint protection film (PPF), vehicle wrapping and professional detailing have become highly specialized trades.

Now it’s time to bring the industry together.

On April 3rd and 4th, 2027, the Great Canadian Tint Expo is coming to the Niagara Falls Convention Centre in Niagara Falls, Ontario, bringing installers, business owners, competitors, manufacturers, distributors, vendors and automotive enthusiasts together for two incredible days.

This isn't designed to be another general automotive show.

The goal is to create an expo focused on the people who actually tint windows, install PPF, wrap vehicles, detail cars, sell products and build businesses within these industries every day.

Why We Helped Create the Great Canadian Tint Expo

At Tint Academy, we spend much of the year travelling across Canada and the United States providing hands-on window tint and PPF training.

Through that experience, we've met thousands of installers, students, shop owners and industry professionals.

And we kept seeing an opportunity:

Canada needed a major event built specifically for this industry.

Canada has an incredible community of talented window tinters, PPF installers, wrappers and detailers, but we wanted to help create a larger platform where that community could come together.

A place where installers could compete.

A place where new installers could learn.

A place where manufacturers could demonstrate their latest products and technology.

A place where vendors could connect directly with the Canadian market.

And a place where everyone from a beginner to an experienced shop owner could spend two days surrounded by people who understand the industry.

That vision helped lead to the creation of the Great Canadian Tint Expo.

Canada Window Tint Expo – April 3–4, 2027

Mark your calendar:

📅 April 3rd & 4th, 2027
📍 Niagara Falls Convention Centre
📍 Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

Niagara Falls provides a unique destination for both Canadian and American attendees, helping us bring together professionals from both sides of the border.

The event is being built around four major automotive industries:

WINDOW TINT • PPF • VEHICLE WRAP • AUTOMOTIVE DETAILING

Whether you're already operating a successful shop or you're just beginning your career in the automotive aftermarket, the expo is an opportunity to experience where these industries are heading.

Window Tint Competitions in Canada

Competition will be a major part of the Great Canadian Tint Expo.

Rather than simply talking about installation techniques, competitors will have an opportunity to put their skills on display in front of other installers and industry professionals.

Competitions are planned to include the:

Great Canadian Tint Competition

Cross Border Showdown – Canada vs. USA

Flat Glass Challenge

Wrapper Battle

These competitions are about more than winning.

They're an opportunity for installers to test their abilities, meet other professionals and showcase the incredible level of talent within the Canadian and North American installation community.

If you've spent years perfecting your technique behind the doors of your shop, this is your opportunity to put those skills on a bigger stage.

Canada vs. USA: The Cross Border Showdown

Window tinting has developed an incredible community across North America.

The Cross Border Showdown is designed to bring Canadian and American installers together at the same event.

That international component is particularly fitting for Niagara Falls, with the U.S. border just minutes away.

It's about competition, but it's also about connecting two installer communities that share many of the same products, techniques, business challenges and passion for the trade.

Canada vs. USA. One stage. One weekend in Niagara Falls.

Flat Glass Window Film Takes the Stage

Automotive tint receives a tremendous amount of attention, but residential and commercial window film represent another major opportunity for professional installers.

That's why the Great Canadian Tint Expo will also showcase flat glass window film installation.

Residential, commercial, decorative, privacy, solar-control and security window films can create additional revenue opportunities for automotive installers looking to expand their businesses.

The Flat Glass Challenge gives installers an opportunity to showcase another side of professional window film installation.

The Wrapper Battle

The Great Canadian Tint Expo isn't only about window tint.

Professional vinyl wrapping has developed into a specialized industry requiring precision, patience and significant technical skill.

The Wrapper Battle will give vehicle-wrap professionals an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities while allowing attendees to experience professional installation techniques in a competitive environment.

For anyone interested in vehicle wrapping, vinyl wrap training or growing a wrap business in Canada, this is another reason to attend.

A Major Opportunity for Tint, PPF, Wrap & Detailing Vendors

One of the biggest goals of the expo is connecting the people who make and distribute products with the professionals who actually use them.

Vendor and booth opportunities put brands directly in front of installers, shop owners and potential customers.

The expo is an ideal environment for companies involved in:

Window Film • PPF • Vinyl Wrap • Ceramic Coatings • Detailing Products • Tint Tools • Plotters • Cutting Software • Installation Tools • Shop Equipment • Automotive Accessories • Business Technology

Instead of relying entirely on online advertising, brands can meet installers face-to-face, demonstrate products and develop relationships within the Canadian automotive aftermarket.

Sponsorship Opportunities

The Great Canadian Tint Expo also creates opportunities for companies looking to increase their presence within Canada's tint, PPF, wrap and detailing industries.

Sponsorship opportunities can provide exposure surrounding the event while connecting participating brands with competitions, education, installers and the broader professional community.

For manufacturers and distributors looking to grow their presence among Canadian window tint, PPF, detailing and wrap professionals, the Great Canadian Tint Expo offers access to a highly focused audience.

Why New Window Tinters Should Attend

You don't need 10 years of experience to benefit from an industry expo.

In fact, attending events early in your career can help you understand just how large this industry really is.

Someone learning window tinting can meet experienced installers, discover professional tools, compare window films, watch installation techniques, learn about plotter technology and connect with companies operating throughout the industry.

You also get something that's difficult to experience through social media:

The industry under one roof.

YouTube, Instagram and TikTok can teach you a lot, but meeting other installers and seeing products, tools and techniques in person provides a completely different experience.

From Tint Academy Training to a Major Canadian Industry Event

For Tint Academy, helping create this event is an extension of what we've been working toward through hands-on training.

Our focus has always been on the installer.

Teach the fundamentals.

Get people practicing.

Help installers improve.

Help people turn a technical skill into a business.

Continue raising the standard of professional window tint and PPF installation.

After training 6,500+ students worldwide, we've seen firsthand how powerful the community behind these trades has become.

The Great Canadian Tint Expo gives that community a place to come together.

Why Niagara Falls, Ontario?

Niagara Falls is one of Canada's best-known destinations and provides an incredible backdrop for a major automotive industry event.

Holding the expo at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre also gives attendees an opportunity to turn their trip into more than a trade show.

Installers can spend two days networking, learning and competing while also experiencing Niagara Falls and the surrounding Niagara Region.

For U.S. installers, vendors and manufacturers, Niagara Falls' proximity to the Canada-U.S. border also makes this a unique destination for a Canadian industry event.

The Canadian Tint Industry Is Growing

Window tinting isn't simply about changing the appearance of a vehicle.

Today's professional window-film industry includes:

Automotive Window Tinting
Ceramic Window Film
Residential Window Tinting
Commercial Window Film
Architectural Film
Privacy Film
Security Window Film

Add paint protection film, ceramic coatings, vehicle wrapping and professional detailing, and the opportunity within the automotive restyling industry becomes even larger.

That evolution is exactly why industry-specific events matter.

Installers need opportunities to see new technology.

Brands need opportunities to demonstrate products.

New installers need education.

Experienced installers need places to connect and compete.

Businesses need relationships.

The Great Canadian Tint Expo is being built around those connections.
