Program
The 2026 Conference program will feature timely presentations by industry experts and leaders, business meetings where you can engage in sector-specific discussions and networking opportunities to connect with friends new and old.

The Conference will kick-off on the Wednesday evening with the Manufacturers and Distributors Reception where you will get your first “taste” of the city.

Thursday’s program will feature several invited speakers, as well as the contractor, manufacturer and distributor breakout sessions. The optional program will also be running this day. For those of you planning to bring your children, please register by June 1 so that we can organize age-appropriate activities for them. This day will wrap up with a very special off-site evening.

Friday morning will include more presentations, followed by some exciting activities that could really only be offered in Quebec City. Friday evening is a night off and delegates are encouraged to get out and explore!

As we reach Saturday, the final day of the Conference, join us for the last morning of presentations, including a sneak-peak at the 2027 Conference scheduled for August 18-21, 2027 in Calgary, AB.

The Conference will be wrapped up at the President’s Dinner and Dance.
