About This Show
AI-drafted summaryThe Canadian Hydrogen Convention is billed as Canada's largest hydrogen event, bringing together government representatives, Indigenous leaders, industry professionals, and international delegates to advance the hydrogen economy across North America. Held at the Edmonton Convention Centre in Edmonton, Alberta — positioned as the nation's first hydrogen hub — the event combines a large-scale exhibition with two flagship conference programs covering hydrogen production, storage, infrastructure, and mobility.
The convention pairs a Strategic Conference and a Technical Conference, supported by special features such as an awards gala, site tours, and networking receptions. Attendees include energy executives, policymakers, engineers, investors, researchers, and clean-energy technology providers from Canada and around the world.
It is worth attending for its concentration of decision-makers: organizers report that most attendees are key influencers, decision-makers, or purchasers, making it a strong venue for business development, partnership-building, and staying current on policy, investment, and deployment across the hydrogen value chain.
