Annual Canadian
Hydrogen Conference

TBD 2026

We owe a huge thank you to the City of Mississauga and GTAA for their generous platinum donation to our annual conference. Without the help of sponsors our non-profit would be unable to bring together the professionals, academics, and enthusiasts necessary to advocate and advance innovation and technology for applications that are critical in the Hydrogen sector.

And thank you to everyone who participated this year including panelists, presenters, and attendees. Thank you for making our conference possible!

See everyone in 2026.
