Insider Tips for Attending CANSEC 2026

Plan Ahead for Peak Arrival Periods

CANSEC 2026 is expected to welcome record attendance levels. Morning arrival periods will experience the highest concentration of attendees, exhibitors, government officials, airport traffic, motorcades, and security operations.

If you do not have scheduled meetings, programming, or receptions requiring an early arrival, consider arriving after 12:00 PM to help avoid peak congestion periods.
