Automation is no longer a future consideration for Canadian manufacturers. It is already shaping how companies compete, grow, adapt, and plan for what comes next.

Taking place June 2, 2026 in Toronto, the Canadian Automation Leadership Summit brings together leaders from across Canada’s manufacturing and automation sectors for a focused day of insight, discussion, and industry connection.

For manufacturers looking to stay current, competitive, and connected to where the industry is headed, CALS26 is a timely opportunity to be part of the conversation.

This year’s agenda will explore:

• The current state of Canadian automotive manufacturing and what future growth could look like.
• How manufacturers can explore new opportunities tied to defence spending and dual-use production.
• The role Automate Canada and its members are playing in the future of manufacturing and automation.
• Career growth, industry change, and lessons from past Manufacturing AUTOMATION Top 10 Under 40 honourees.
• Outcome-based roundtable discussions on digital transformation, supply chain diversification, workforce upskilling, and more.

CALS26 is less than a month away. Join us in Toronto on June 2 and stay connected to the conversations shaping Canada’s automation future.
