Highlights of Our 2026 Canada Conference Technical School

Another successful Technical School is in the books!

With 28 students participating, the Canada Conference Technical School provided valuable opportunities for learning, professional development, and hands-on education prior to the 2026 Canada Conference & Expo. Offering technical courses in conjunction with the conference allowed students to further develop their skills while connecting with industry professionals.

A big thank you to our dedicated instructors for generously sharing their time, knowledge, and expertise with our students. Their commitment to education and the advancement of industry professionals continues to play an important role in the success of the Canadian door and hardware industry.
