Call for Expression of Interest – CANSEC
 
CANSEC is Canada’s largest global defense and security trade show and will take place May 31 - June 1, 2023. It has been held annually in Ottawa since 1998 by the Canadian Association of Defense and Security Industries (CADSI). CANSEC showcases leading-edge technologies, products, and services for land-based, naval, aerospace, and joint forces military units. The show last year featured: 150,000 square feet of exhibitor space with 280+ defense and security exhibitors and over 1300 Business to Business (B2B) meetings scheduled.

  • Networking opportunities with area partners and businesses through the delegation
  • Company advertising through the County of Simcoe, City of Barrie, and City of Orillia social media channels before, during and after the event 
Additional costs to consider:
