I agree with Darkstar here. The Ex needs to move back to exhibiting something more specific - not being a commercial free-for-all without focus.
Move back by showcasing one thing, but move forward by showcasing modern city-building technologies.
The Ex used to be about Farming technology. We are definitly not a farming community anymore. The Ex should now focus on things that make an urban city. Showcases could focus on urban design, architecture, "green" technologies, urban transit etc etc. Bring in TEDCO, WaterfronToronto, TTC, arch firms etc.
I think the EX has come to focus too much on those cheap and cheesy midway games.
FOOD: Toronto is now going to have more than hot dogs and sausages offered from our street vendors. Maybe this year would be a good time to showcase the different kinds of foods we will see in the years to come.
The EX should partner up with The University of Waterloo and Ryerson (and other Urban planning schools) to have students create a "Toronto of the Future". Diagrams, models etc can show different plans for where the city should go development wise. Visitors could create their view of the city via some kind of sim-city virtual programs.
