CANSEC 2026 is scheduled for May 27–28, 2026 in Ottawa, Ontario, at the EY Centre. It’s Canada’s premier defence and security trade show, bringing together government, military, industry, and academia to showcase the latest in land, sea, air, and joint-force capabilities, with hundreds of exhibitors and keynote sessions anticipated. Expect updates on digital transformation, policy perspectives, and emerging technologies across defence and security domains.
Key details to help you plan:
- Dates and venue: May 27–28, 2026, EY Centre, Ottawa.[1][3]
- Organizers: CADSI (Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries) and partner bodies, with participation from government and international delegations.[2][5]
- Focus areas: maritime, aerial, land systems, cyber, AI, dual-use tech, and capability demonstrations; specifics released by organizers ahead of the event.[1][2]
Where to look for the latest specifics:
- CANSEC official pages and CADSI notices for the current year agenda, speaker lineup, and exhibitor list.
- Trade-show media kits and Show Daily publications for on-site schedules, scrum locations, and press access details.
If you’d like, I can compile the most up-to-date agenda, keynote speakers, and exhibitor highlights into a concise brief or generate a quick one-page checklist for attendees. I can also set up reminders for registration deadlines and travel planning based on Prague time.
