Floor Guide / Global Energy Show 2026
Global Energy Show Canada 2026
Five hundred-plus exhibitors and thirty thousand visitors land at the BMO Centre this June, the year an Ottawa-Alberta MOU, Ontario's CANDU restart, and Indigenous-led LNG on the BC coast all sit on the same agenda.

FABTECH Canada 2026
Of the two hundred and ninety-nine exhibitors at FABTECH Canada, one hundred and seventy-six are Canadian.

Here's the cut of Canadian booths worth a walk, the family-owned aftermarket shops, the niche tech that turns a 40-tonne excavator into three machines, and the dealers who quietly keep the country's fleets running.
