Meet MGA at the Canadian Aerospace Summit

The Canadian Aerospace Summit 2026, presented by the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada (AIAC), is Canada's premier gathering for aerospace leaders, manufacturers, suppliers, innovators, and government representatives. Taking place October 27-28 in Ottawa, the event provides a unique opportunity to explore the technologies, policies, and partnerships shaping the future of Canada's aerospace sector. AIAC describes the Summit as a forum for networking with senior executives and government representatives, learning about innovative products and services, and gaining insights into current industry challenges, opportunities, and trends.

Attendees can expect thought-provoking conference sessions, industry-focused discussions, an active exhibit hall, and valuable networking opportunities with organizations across the aerospace, defense, and advanced manufacturing communities. Whether you are involved in commercial aviation, defense programs, certification, aircraft systems, materials engineering, or product development, the Canadian Aerospace Summit offers a platform to connect with industry decision-makers and discover emerging aerospace technologies.

As aerospace organizations continue to navigate challenges related to safety, reliability, compliance, sustainability, and innovation, the Summit serves as a central hub for collaboration and knowledge sharing across Canada's aerospace ecosystem.
