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 will provide a regional event that will draw participation both nationally and internationally to showcase the extensive talent, experience and innovation in Western Canada’s defence industry community.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We now have our first Partner Hotel room block available and ready for bookings. We have partnered with the Hyatt Regency Calgary which is directly connected to the event venue. A quick, convenient walk across the pedway and you are at the entrance! We highly encourage those planning to attend to book early, as we expect the block to sell quickly. Click here for details and to make your reservation!

DEFSEC West will attract:
  • Canadian and International Prime contractors who are in pursuit of or are executing large contracts with a need for Canadian content via a large 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 from all levels who help their clients to learn about, qualify for, and succeed in the dynamic Canadian defence procurement atmosphere.

DEFSEC West will be 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.
