At Exmerce, we’ve always believed that business is about more than just transactions—it’s about the people behind the brands. For years, we’ve helped Calgary entrepreneurs leverage their resources to grow. Now, we’re taking that mission to the main stage with the Exmerce Showcase.
This isn’t just a night for the stylish trendsetters; it’s a high-energy celebration of Calgary’s creative community.
More Than a Runway
Calgary’s fashion scene is home to incredible independent designers and innovators. Often, these small business owners are so focused on the grind that they don’t get the platform they deserve. The Showcase is designed to bridge that gap.
It’s an evening where you can watch a live runway show and immediately “Shop the Runway”—connecting directly with the designers to support their work and their brands. With our incredible MC Dennis Agbegha and soon to be announced lineup of talented designers it’s going to be a night to remember!
A Commitment to Inclusion
While style is the vehicle, the heart of this project is our community. We are incredibly proud to partner with Chrysalis, an organization dedicated to providing personalized services to assist individuals with disabilities in achieving their goals.
A thriving business community is one that leaves no one behind. Our CEO, Nelson Liem, sums up the vision:
“Bringing our first fashion show to life is about more than style—it’s about community. We’re proud to support local fashion brands, uplift small businesses through our barter platform, and partner with Chrysalis to champion individuals with disabilities. This event reflects what matters most to us: connection, inclusion, and showing up for one another.”
— Nelson Liem, Founder & CEO
