Thought Leadership for Aerial and Ground Wildfire Suppression

View Schedule

Advancing wildfire suppression
What is the CWC?

Expanded in 2025 from a one-day to a two-day show, the Canadian Wildfire Conference is designed to bring together the stakeholders of wildfire suppression, including ground and air operations, suppliers, and communities through government agencies. The two-day show features a full educational program with presentations from sector leaders, a trade show with dozens of top technologies and services suppliers, and a static display of land vehicles and aircraft. The Canadian Wildfire Conference is organized under the cooperation of four Annex Business Media brands, including Canadian Firefighter, Fire Fighting in Canada, Helicopters and Wings – all leaders in their respective markets.

Connect and innovate
Why attend the CWC?

In addition to its educational programs, the Canadian Wildfire Conference provides a unique platform connecting leaders from different sectors of wildfire suppression, allowing pilots and air operators to network with firefighters and fire chiefs. This platform also attracts government agencies, which help to oversee operations, and suppliers, which help to provide innovation. The Canadian Wildfire Conference allows different perspectives to be shared over two days to help push wildfire suppression forward, including educational topics like, but not limited to, interoperability, investment and procurement, labour, attack strategies, government policies, regulations, and the newest products and services impacting the sector.
