The Right People. The Right Room.
Since 1979, Invest Canada has convened the investors who determine where Canadian private capital is deployed. The conference has sold out four consecutive years. Senior managing partners, CIOs, and institutional LPs return because this is where Canadian private market decisions are discussed directly, in one place, over three days.
Billions in private and institutional capital are moving through Canada’s private markets as defence policy shifts and major project pipelines advance, reshaping industrial priorities.
Invest Canada brings together the funds raising capital, the institutions allocating it, and the policymakers shaping the environment at the same time.
If you allocate to, raise, or deploy capital in Canada, this is the room.
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.
