The Right People. The Right Room.
Private equity and venture capital leaders have already made their decision to attend Invest Canada ’26. Secure your place among them.
Since 1979, Invest Canada has been the national meeting point for private capital in Canada, built to get the people who decide where capital goes into the same room at the same time and when it matters.
Canada is moving ahead on large, long-term investment priorities that rely on private capital. Invest Canada offers a concentrated view of the Canadian market in a single setting, with direct access to the funds and institutions shaping it. That’s why the same senior investors return each year, and why the conference has sold out four years in a row.
Where Canada’s Investment Leaders Meet
Senior Investors in the Room
From global giants to sophisticated family offices, Invest Canada hosts 60+ unique LP entities representing $3T+ in aggregate AUM. Connect with GP and LP delegates in an environment curated for direct decision-maker engagement and high-signal access.
What’s Shaping Capital Decisions
Programming recalibrates for a market driven by Canada’s $500B investment target, nation-building priorities, and defence mandates. Plus, IC26 will directly address the intense pressure to generate liquidity and secure commitments, while anchoring capital in fundamental value creation and discipline.
Structured Time For Meetings
The Invest Canada conference has enabled over 50,000 estimated strategic interactions over the last 10 years, condensing months of outbound into three days. Curated matchmaking and networking sessions provides the access to decision-makers required to manufacture liquidity, source deals, and accelerate the fundraising cycle.
