Event highlights growth, innovation and live concrete pours
Special to Canadian Design and Report
Conference sessions, live demonstrations and stage presentations will give attendees hands-on access to the latest technology, equipment and industry insights when the Canadian Concrete Expo returns in 2026.
While the expansive exhibition floor remains the centre of deal-making and networking, the show is designed for professionals to connect, test equipment, and take advantage of exclusive show-floor offerings.
The country’s largest trade show dedicated to concrete construction is set to be bigger than ever in 2026, expanding by 20 per cent to meet growing demand from Canada’s construction sector.
The event will take place Wednesday, Feb. 11, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Thursday, Feb. 12, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at The International Centre in Mississauga. The 2026 show will span a record 400,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space, reflecting both continued industry growth and rising demand for innovation as Canada faces pressure to deliver housing and infrastructure while meeting sustainability targets.
“Construction is the backbone of Canada’s economy, and our trade show is where the industry comes together to share ideas, build partnerships, and discover innovations,” said Stuart Galloway, president of the Canadian Concrete Expo. “This 20 per cent growth reflects the industry’s demand for a powerful platform that enables professionals from across Canada and international markets to connect and collaborate.”
CCE is expanding its show floor, educational programming and live demonstrations for 2026, including collaborative live indoor concrete pours highlighting the newest technologies and methods. The expanded program will also showcase innovations in decking systems, forming solutions, construction equipment and related technologies.
Now in its seventh year, the Canadian Concrete Expo has become a cornerstone event for
contractors, engineers, developers and suppliers across the concrete and construction sectors.
The 2026 edition is expected to feature more than 400 exhibitors presenting products and technologies aimed at improving efficiency, sustainability and jobsite performance.
A 100,000-square-foot demonstration area will allow attendees to see tools and machinery in action and compare solutions side-by-side, reinforcing the show’s practical, industry driven format.
Networking remains a key draw, with thousands of professionals expected to attend from across Canada and abroad. “CCE is where business relationships are built and where innovation meets opportunity,” Galloway said.
Hosted at The International Centre on Airport Road in Mississauga, the expo is expected to attract more than 8,000 visitors. Organizers say exhibit space is already nearing sell-out, underscoring the momentum behind both the event and the sector it represents.
