Canadian Concrete Expo 2026: Bigger Show, More Opportunities, Stronger Connections

The Canadian Concrete Expo (CCE) returns for 2026, promising a bigger, bolder, and more immersive experience for the concrete, construction and aggregates industries.

Taking place February 11-12, 2026, at The International Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, the 8th annual CCE is expanding to 400,000 square feet – a 100,000 square foot increase over 2025. This expansion offers attendees and exhibitors more opportunities than ever to connect, explore, and innovate.

“CCE 2026 represents the growth, energy, and vision of Canada’s concrete industry,” says Stuart Galloway, President of Canadian Concrete Expo. “With expanded floor space, larger demo areas, and a dynamic conference program, the event is the perfect place for both returning attendees and newcomers to connect, explore new solutions, and see firsthand how innovation is driving the industry forward.”

After selling out in 2025, CCE 2026 will dedicate Hall 4 to provide additional exhibit space, offering both small and bulk booth options for new and returning exhibitors. This expansion gives new companies the chance to have visibility at CCE, and attendees the opportunity to experience more solutions and connect with even more exhibitors.
