Based on the feedback we received from our members and SEC attendees, we know that accessibility matters. To ensure that sign professionals from across the country have the opportunity to participate, Sign Experience Canada will move west in 2026, marking the next step in a planned east–west rotation for our annual conference. Much like other leading national and international associations, this approach allows us to meet our members where they are—geographically and professionally—while strengthening national participation year over year.

 

Calgary provides the ideal setting to continue building momentum following the successful Niagara Falls launch. By rotating the conference across regions, we create greater access to networking, education, and exhibitor engagement for members who may not be able to travel long distances every year. 

​

The 2026 conference agenda will deliver a balanced and engaging experience, including: 

​

• Golf and networking experiences that encourage relationship-building in a relaxed setting 

• Inspiring keynote breakfasts to kick off each day with insight and perspective 

• A focused exhibit floor showcasing products, services, and innovations from our supplier members 

• Speed networking sessions designed to create efficient, high-value connections 

• Fun, locally inspired activities that reflect the host city and make the experience memorable 

 

Running concurrently with Sign Experience Canada, the YPN Leadership Conference will once again bring together emerging leaders from across the country—creating valuable cross-generational interaction and strengthening the future of our industry. 

​

Sign Experience Canada continues to evolve based on member and exhibitor feedback. Our goal remains clear: to deliver a national event that is relevant, accessible, and worth the investment—whether you attend as a sign company, supplier, exhibitor, or sponsor.
