GCXpo 2026

GCXpo 2026 is a highly targeted, Ottawa-based defense and dual-use tech event with a concentrated assembly of 32 participating companies. Rather than a massive, sprawling trade show, this event functions as a focused, high-level meeting ground dominated by North American organizations, particularly from Canada and the United States.

The attendee profile is exceptionally senior. Every tracked attendee holds a decision-making role, with 50% representing C-suite executives. The organization mix is heavily weighted toward large enterprises, professional services firms, and public sector bodies, including the Government of Canada, PwC, Accenture, Dell, and Wsp.

Attendees should expect deep conversations around federal procurement, regulatory compliance, and technology integration. It is an intimate, operator-heavy environment where deals are initiated at the leadership level rather than through mid-level procurement channels.

With every single registered attendee holding a decision-maker title and half sitting in the C-suite, GCXpo 2026 is a premium venue for business development teams targeting high-level Canadian public sector and technology buyers.

The heavy concentration of professional services and government organizations creates an ideal environment for vendors pitching high-value compliance, defense, and integration solutions.
