Trades Expo 2026 - Event Registration

The TRADES Expo is aimed directly at new and future tradespeople. All the Trades are in crisis! 90% of existing trades are retiring. That means a TONNE of opportunities for new talent to enter the trades, and begin well-paying and rewarding careers.From carpentry to concrete, from highly specialized to classic trades, they all need talent. COME FIND YOUR TRADE as this year's Trades Expo?

Join us - we are looking for you! There are employers looking to train you as well as many exciting training opportunities to explore. Explore interactive exhibits, talk to the trades, handle the tools, interact directly with employers looking for talent, and learn about training opportunities. Explore, experience, learn, and connect!
