EPCC Global Inc.

What EPCC Global Inc. does

EPCC Global Inc., founded in May 2016 in Toronto, Canada, operates as a private international B2B events and training business built around a reported network of 12,000+ corporations across five continents. The company organizes annual flagship exhibitions in Frankfurt, Toronto, Las Vegas, Seoul, and Kathmandu, and runs three vertical sub-brands — Medical Tourism Asia Summit, Franchise Expo, and Startup Summit. Its primary customer segments are meeting planners, corporate hosted buyers, and exhibitors/suppliers seeking cross-border B2B matchmaking, with a secondary segment of working professionals and students enrolled in certification programs.

The product portfolio combines an event-driven B2B platform with a professional training catalog of roughly ten ISO- and PMP-aligned certification programs — including Risk Management (ISO 31000), Business Continuity (ISO 22301), Occupational Health & Safety (ISO 45001), and Cyber Security Management (ISO/IEC 27032) — delivered in association with TNV Certification LLC (Delaware, USA). Underlying technology is a web-based infrastructure (epccglobal.ca) used for online event registration, training enrollment, and digital communications; the source materials disclose no proprietary technology, AI/ML systems, patents, platform APIs, or third-party integrations.

Revenue is generated through event participation fees (exhibitor booth rentals, attendee registrations, sponsorship packages), professional services fees from training programs, and B2B meeting facilitation services. The legal structure comprises five incorporated entities across Canada (primary, founded 2016), Germany (EPCC Global GmbH, 2018), Portugal (EPCC Global LDA, 2021), Spain (EPCC Global SRL, 2025), and Nepal. EPCC's go-to-market is event-driven and partner-mediated, with named strategic alliances including United Economic Forum (institutional member since 2016), IMEX Exhibitions, Farm Management Canada, Canada Agri-Food, Korean MICE Association, and Indian trade promotion councils (SEPC, FICCI, EEPC). Leadership is concentrated among founders Krishna Pandey (Group Chairman/CMD, PhD Scholar) and CEO David Patchell Evans (MBA, PhD), supported by regional directors in China and Portugal and a small team of consultants in legal, accounting, IT, and pharma functions.

Emerging players

• Bizzabo: Event experience and registration platform serving corporate event organizers and hosted-buyer programs. Comparable on persona (meeting planners, corporate buyers) despite a tech-first delivery model versus EPCC's relationship-driven platform.
• Cvent: Event management and B2B matchmaking platform serving the same corporate meeting planner and hosted-buyer personas. Comparable on customer base (corporate meeting planners) and B2B matchmaking functionality, though tech-enabled where EPCC is relationship-driven.

Broad incumbents

• Informa (Informa Markets): Global B2B events and exhibitions giant with hundreds of trade shows across multiple verticals including healthcare, franchising, and technology, which overlap with EPCC's Medical Tourism, Franchise, and Startup Summit brands.
• Koelnmesse: Major German trade fair organizer with international exhibitions across multiple verticals. Comparable through shared B2B trade show model and European operational footprint similar to EPCC's Germany and Portugal offices.
• RX Global (Reed Exhibitions): Operator of major B2B exhibitions worldwide, with a comparable hosted-buyer and trade show model. EPCC's exhibitor and sponsorship offerings overlap directly with RX's vertical event portfolios.
• Messe Frankfurt: One of the world's largest trade fair organizers, headquartered in Frankfurt, where EPCC hosts a flagship event. Overlap in venue footprint, B2B exhibitor base, and hosted-buyer programs makes Messe Frankfurt a direct comparable incumbent.
• Hyve Group: International exhibitions and trade show operator with a multi-vertical event portfolio. Comparable through hosted-buyer programs and B2B matchmaking services that mirror EPCC's gathering model.

Direct peers

• IMEX Group: Operates IMEX Frankfurt and IMEX America, the two flagship exhibitions in EPCC's portfolio. EPCC is a partner organizing pavilions at these events, making IMEX the most direct comparable in B2B exhibitions targeting the meetings industry.
• Farm Management Canada: Co-organizer of EPCC's AgEx Conference (2024 Abbotsford, 2026 Calgary). Direct peer in running agriculture and agri-food B2B events with a North American focus.
