Key Takeaways
For solar, wind, storage, hydrogen and grid suppliers, Canada’s clean energy events are where project developers, utilities, investors and policymakers meet the companies that will build the projects.
This guide lists the renewable and clean energy expos in Canada for 2026–2027, with dates, venues, who attends and how to plan a booth that works for a technical audience.
Renewable energy expos in Canada at a glance
Dates for 2027 are from organisers where published. For annual autumn events whose 2027 dates were not yet announced, the 2026 dates are shown as a guide.
| EVENT | DATES | CITY AND VENUE | FOCUS | ACCESS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canadian Hydrogen Convention | Apr 20–22, 2027 | Edmonton, Edmonton EXPO Centre | Hydrogen production, fuel cells, transport | Trade |
| Global Energy Show Canada | Jun 8–10, 2027 | Calgary, BMO Centre | Energy, emissions technology and transition | Trade |
| Carbon Capture Canada | Autumn 2027 (2026 ran Sep 15–17) | Edmonton, Edmonton EXPO Centre | Carbon capture, utilisation and storage | Trade |
| Energy Storage Canada Conference | Autumn 2027 (2026 ran Sep 22–23) | Toronto, Exhibition Place | Battery and grid storage | Trade |
| Electricity Transformation Canada | Autumn 2027 (2026 ran Oct 19–21) | Toronto, Enercare Centre | Wind, solar, storage and grid | Trade |
Canadian Hydrogen Convention, Edmonton
The Canadian Hydrogen Convention brings together hydrogen project developers, energy and utility staff, engineering buyers, government officials, investors and heavy transport operators. Exhibitors include electrolyser and fuel cell manufacturers, EPC contractors, compression, storage and pipeline suppliers, industrial gas firms and utilities. Alberta’s industrial base makes Edmonton a natural home for it.
Global Energy Show Canada, Calgary
Global Energy Show Canada is the largest energy event on this list, with around 30,000 attendees and 500 exhibitors reported by the organiser. It is rooted in oil and gas, but emissions technology, instrumentation and energy transition suppliers exhibit to operators, engineers and procurement teams. For clean technology firms selling to traditional energy companies, it is a high-value room.
The autumn clean energy events
Electricity Transformation Canada, Toronto
Electricity Transformation Canada covers wind, solar and battery storage, grid equipment, and engineering and financing. Visitors are utility and grid planners, independent power producers, project developers, policymakers, Indigenous partners and corporate energy buyers.
Energy Storage Canada Conference, Toronto
Energy Storage Canada’s conference is the focused event for battery and grid storage, drawing utility and system operator staff, project developers, investors and policy makers. Battery and inverter suppliers, EPC contractors, software and controls vendors and financiers exhibit.
Carbon Capture Canada, Edmonton
Carbon Capture Canada serves CCUS project developers and industrial operators, with capture technology licensors, compression and pipeline suppliers, and monitoring firms on the floor.
How to choose the right clean energy event
Pick by technology and buyer
Hydrogen suppliers belong in Edmonton in April. Storage and grid suppliers should plan for the autumn Toronto events. Clean technology that helps traditional energy cut emissions fits Global Energy Show and Carbon Capture Canada.
Think regionally
Alberta events reach industrial and resource buyers; Toronto events reach Ontario utilities, system operators and developers. Book where your projects are.
Know your goal
Elizaveta Golikova, Executive Consultant at ET Global, recommends starting with two questions, in an interview with IAEE:
“Who are we trying to reach? What action do we want them to take?”
— Elizaveta Golikova, Executive Consultant, ET Global
For a clean energy supplier, the answer might be a technical meeting, a project introduction or a distributor conversation.
Budget for the whole event
A reusable display keeps the rest of the budget predictable, and our guide to trade show displays in Canada, with types, sizes and CAD prices breaks down what each format costs.
Booth planning for clean energy exhibitors
Make the technical simple
Visitors are engineers and developers, but they still walk past a cluttered booth. Lead with one result, such as cost per megawatt-hour, efficiency or emissions avoided, and keep detail for the conversation and the spec sheet.
Bring the experts
Patrick Loftus, Strategy, Insights and Research Director at Freeman, told IAEE what attendees value:
“Attendees want to meet and ask questions of exhibitor subject matter experts.”
— Patrick Loftus, Strategy, Insights and Research Director, Freeman
Put an engineer on the booth for every shift, and plan a screen or model that shows your system working in the field.
Check height and sightline rules
Under the IAEE display guidelines that many North American organisers base their rules on, inline booth backwalls are typically capped at 8 ft, and taller items generally have to stay toward the back of the booth. Tall machines and demo rigs may need separate approval, so read the exhibitor manual early.
Pick the display for your footprint
| BOOTH SIZE | TYPICAL CLEAN ENERGY SETUP |
|---|---|
| 10 ft x 10 ft | Fabric backwall with one result headline and a project image, counter for spec sheets, screen with a system video |
| 10 ft x 20 ft | Tension fabric media wall, product or model display, backlit project photography, small meeting table |
| 20 ft x 20 ft (island) | Modular booth kit, hanging sign where rigging is allowed, equipment display, private meeting area for developers |
A 10 ft trade show display and a printed counter cover most first shows. For bigger booths, booth kits sorted by size and backlit SEG displays help project photography stand out.
Common mistakes clean energy exhibitors make
- Too much jargon. Lead with a result anyone can understand.
- No one technical on the booth. Engineers will leave if nobody can answer them.
- Ignoring the policy audience. Government and Indigenous partners attend; have a simple summary of community and economic benefits.
- Late show-service orders. Power and rigging deadlines come early.
- Clutter. Keep the booth clean and open. Our booth design principles explain how.
Your next step: a pre-order checklist
- Confirm dates, hall and booth number in writing with the organiser.
- Read the exhibitor manual for height limits, power, demo rules and fabric fire-safety requirements.
- Decide whether you want project meetings, partner leads or investor interest.
- Choose the display for your footprint.
- Request a free 2D mockup and get sign-off from everyone who needs to approve it. Production starts within 24 business hours of your written approval.
- Tell us your show date and delivery address when you order so we can confirm timing.
- Do a test build before the show.
