The City of North Bay is pleased to host the next NORD as part of the expanded initiative, which will now move to a bi‑annual hybrid conference model, beginning with our upcoming event.
- April 20–21, 2026
- Canadore College’s Aviation Campus | 55 Aviation Ave, North Bay, ON
The 2026 conference will open with a reception overlooking the 10,000 ft runway, featuring networking opportunities, tours of the aviation campus, and access to the new flight simulators. Day two will include sessions on entering the defence sector, procurement processes, upcoming initiatives, and strategies for businesses looking to engage with defence suppliers and contractors. The afternoon will once again be dedicated to B2B meetings. As a prime contractor, you’ll have the ability to book meetings with suppliers and northern Ontario companies participating in the event.
More information including registration, the B2B platform, and the agenda will be shared shortly. Any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Natasha Penn at 705.474.0400 x2431
