CANSEC 2026

Canada's leading defence, security & emerging technology event.

CANSEC has been held annually in Ottawa since 1998 by the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CADSI). CANSEC has always been a great success, and CANSEC 2026 will once again showcase leading-edge technologies, products and services for land-based, naval, aerospace and joint forces military units. CANSEC is also a one-stop shop for first responders, police, border and security entities and special operations units.

From key prime contractors to supply chain representatives, CANSEC draws experts from all parts of the industry. Where else can you network and engage with a captive audience of senior military and government representatives, international delegations and industry decision-makers?
