Digital fair platform with CNE-branded merchandise
Overview
TheEx.com builds and runs a digital extension of the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) by offering online experiences that mirror the fair. It provides virtual events such as air shows and talent competitions, plus an e-commerce shop that sells CNE-branded merchandise. The platform works by hosting live or on-demand virtual events, integrating sponsorships and advertising, and engaging an online community around family-friendly entertainment. TheEx.com differentiates itself through its strong linkage to the CNE IP and nostalgia, creating multiple revenue streams from merchandise sales, virtual events, donations, sponsorships, and targeted advertising, rather than relying on a single product. Its goal is to extend the CNE experience beyond the physical fair, generating year-round engagement and revenue from digital entertainment and commerce.
