Here are the main construction trade shows and events in Quebec from October 2026 to summer 2027, sorted by date, with the audience each one targets. For a contractor, the point is not to attend everything, but to pick the two or three that connect you with the right people.

Which event to choose for your business
Looking for residential clients? Home shows and the Salon national de l'habitation draw homeowners with a project. A booth is expensive, but that is where people come to compare contractors.
Looking for suppliers, products or subcontractors? Expo Contech Bâtiment is short, free and focused on building products.
Managing machinery or a fleet? Expo Grands Travaux is Quebec's heavy equipment event. ExpoCam covers trucking and fleet services. If your problem is knowing where your equipment and vehicles are, that is where you will see the most solutions side by side. To prepare your questions, read our guide to telematics for a construction fleet.
Looking for networking and industry news? The APCHQ, ACQ and CEGQ conventions bring business owners together. Topics include labour relations, collective agreements and management.
Prepare a trade show visit on one page
- Write three specific questions before you go. For example: "What does tracking one trailer cost per year, all in?"
- Bring your numbers. Number of tools, vehicles, trailers and active jobsites. A vendor cannot give you a real price without them.
- Compare on the same criteria. For equipment tracking, our article QR code, Bluetooth or GPS: what to put on which tool provides a comparison grid.
- Block an hour when you get back to sort cards and follow-ups. A trade show contact goes cold within a week.
Trade shows rarely fall in quiet periods. Keep the 2027 construction holiday, July 25 to August 7, in mind when planning demos and purchases.
