DEFSEC West 2027
We return to the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre with a 50% growth in Exhibition space!

Overwhelming positive reaction to the inaugural DEFSEC West has been met with a commitment to growth and continued focus on the needs of Western Canadian Small & Medium Enterprises. The return of early adopters Like Calian, Des Nedhe Group Defence, Prairies Defence Hub, as well as the Government of Canada “whole of Government” approach to defence procurement, will jump start the success of our second western Canadian defence trade show.

We have expanded the Calian Exhibition Hall to accommodate over 180 10′ x 10′ booth spaces – a 50% increase!

About The Event

The DEFSEC brand is a well-established one that represents opportunity within and beyond its location and focus. With 30 years of event development by a team of experienced professionals, DEFSEC West provides a regional event that draws participation both nationally and internationally to showcase the extensive talent, experience and innovation in Western Canada’s defence industry community.

DEFSEC West attracts:
  • Prime contractors from across the globe who are in pursuit of or are executing large contracts with a need for Canadian content via supply chain.
  • Small & Medium Enterprises (SMEs) who seek to learn about participation in the Canadian defence industry, seeking partnership and sales opportunities.
  • International participants who look to the Canadian market for new connections via our open door policy. They can attend without an association membership as a prerequisite.
  • Government facilitators who help their clients to learn about, qualify for, and succeed in the dynamic Canadian defence procurement atmosphere.

     

DEFSEC West is an event that:
  • Provides a large (with room to grow) exhibition space for trade show interaction and networking.
  • Provides effective, efficient and meaningful B2B connection opportunities through a well-facilitated program. Arrive with meetings booked!
  • Showcases opportunities: Human resources, Indigenous Nations participation, and “hot” topics as we follow the market’s needs and desires.
