BELL ESPORTS CHALLENGE
The Bell Esports Challenge presented by Best Buy Express is back. This tournament series is designed to develop the amateur Esports community by providing opportunities for players to compete at the next level. Live, in-person finals will be held at FAN EXPO Canada where competitors will be able to compete for $60,000 CAD in prizing.

CGC
Bring your collection to FAN EXPO Canada and submit your items in person for professional CGC authentication, grading and encapsulation. CGC submissions will be available for comic books, magazines, sports cards, TCG and non-sports cards, video games and home-video collectibles. Fans getting comics signed at the show can also arrange CGC Signature Series witnessing, allowing eligible books to receive the iconic yellow label, while standard unsigned comics can be submitted for Universal blue-label grading. Whether you are protecting a favourite collectible, confirming its authenticity or preparing it for display, the team will be available to help guide you through the submission process.

Experience The Banking Meta
Every game has a meta: the most effective strategy to succeed. At FAN EXPO Canada, BMO NXT LVL brings that idea to life through a series of interactive challenges inspired by how players earn, collect and level up in game.
Visit the BMO NXT LVL Arcade to test your skills, earn rewards and redeem exclusive FAN EXPO merchandise and prizes. Along the way, you'll discover how the same principles that help players succeed in game—making smart choices, building rewards and thinking ahead—can help set you up for success in real life too.
Whether you're chasing exclusive collectibles, competing with friends or exploring FAN EXPO with family and fellow fans, stop by and experience The Banking Meta for yourself.
