Recognized as Canada’s premier national gathering for industry leaders in the mechanical, plumbing and electrical contracting sector, the MCAC Annual National Conference brings together professionals from across the country to connect, collaborate, and explore the issues shaping the future of the major trade contracting sector in Canada.
“This conference continues to be where our industry comes together to share ideas, strengthen relationships, and shape our collective path forward,” said Brad Mason, President and Chair of the Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada. “Kelowna is a beautiful setting for this year’s event, and we are excited to meet with members from coast-to-coast for some wonderful discussions, networking and social events with old and new friends alike.”
The 2026 conference program has several sessions focused on innovation, productivity, and the evolving regulatory and economic environment facing Canada’s contractors. In addition, delegates can expect outstanding networking opportunities, engaging keynote speakers, and interactive sessions designed to deliver practical insights and real value to member firms.
This year, MCAC is pleased to welcome Mike Downie as the conference’s keynote speaker. As an award-winning filmmaker (including the People’s Choice Award for The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal), Mike Downie continues to inspire audiences to look to storytelling as a means to connect, change, and create cultural identity.
In addition, the conference also features the MCAC’s Innovation Showcase, spotlighting tools and solutions that are transforming the mechanical and electrical contracting industry. The showcase will provide attendees with hands-on exposure to emerging innovations, helping attendees better understand how to adapt and compete in a rapidly evolving marketplace.
“The Innovation Showcase is an exciting opportunity for our members to engage directly with the technologies and ideas that are reshaping our industry,” said Tania Johnston, Chief Executive Officer of MCAC. “It reinforces our commitment to helping our members improve productivity, embrace innovation, and position themselves for long-term success.”
