Industrial-Strength Meetings

Part of Canada’s largest advanced manufacturing corridor, Toronto supports a strong cluster of aerospace and automotive industries, as well as several of Canada’s top engineering programs. Canada is the first country in the G20 to become a tariff-free zone for industrial manufacturers and the city itself is home to over 13,000 related businesses.

As ideas reshape the industry, Toronto innovators are jump-starting new design and production methods, from 3D printing to intelligent robots and clean energy.

Dr. Sheldon Williamson Professor and NSERC Canada Research Chair, Ontario Tech University

“I brought the IEEE International Conference on Industrial Technology to Toronto because it is the hub of the industry for Canada. It’s the showcase of Canada’s leading industries in the areas of electric transportation, micro grids, smart grids and renewable energy systems. We collaborated with several academic units and research institutes housed right here in the city. The city is great, the conference venues are great – you can’t ask for much more.”

Julie Pike Senior Director of Event Strategy, SME

“Toronto is an ideal location for SME events. It’s a world-class city with access to Canada’s leading manufacturing marketplace, and Ontario’s diversified economy and manufacturing industries are highly integrated with the $20 trillion NAFTA marketplace.”

Host With the Most

Toronto has proudly hosted various advanced manufacturing conferences such as Advanced Design and Manufacturing Expo, FABTECH Expo, Canadian Manufacturing Technology Show and more.
