Canadian Coatings Conference 2026

The Canadian Coatings Conference is the flagship event for the CASE industry, proudly hosted by the Canadian Coatings Association (CCA). This must-attend event delivers leading technical, regulatory, economic, political, and trade intelligence, while providing members with opportunities to engage and network with colleagues, customers, and suppliers.

The conference will take place May 20–21, 2026, in downtown Toronto at the iconic OMNI King Edward Hotel, offering a premier setting just steps from Union Station, with direct UP Express rail service to and from Pearson International Airport.

This year, for the first time, CCA is excited to introduce an expanded format that includes a half-day technical conference and a table-top trade show, designed to deliver enhanced value and deeper engagement across the industry. This enhanced format offers targeted programming for executives, sales and business development leaders, regulatory, scientific, and R&D professionals.

In recent years, Canadian companies have navigated rising regulatory complexity, unprecedented trade tensions, and sustained global economic uncertainty. Yet the landscape is still rapidly shifting, and in response, Canada is charting a forward-looking course, driven by strategic investments in infrastructure, productivity and competitiveness, defence and security, and housing. These commitments are poised to energize the many sectors powered by the CASE industry, unlocking growth and supporting the country’s broader economic transformation.

Join CCA this May for a conference designed to help industry leaders shape what’s next. Gain timely insight into emerging opportunities, engage in meaningful dialogue with peers and industry leaders, and leave better equipped with the knowledge and connections needed to succeed in an evolving marketplace. This is where the industry comes together to navigate complexity, seize opportunity, and help define the future of coatings in Canada.
