ScaleUP Summit 2026

June 8 - 10, 2026.

Future Proofing for Scale. Three Days. Multiple Cities. One Movement.

Now entering its third year, ScaleUP Week is more than a conference — it’s a community of founders, leaders, and partners closing the scaleup gap and driving Canada’s next economy.

From June 8–10, 2026, more than 600 business leaders will gather in Calgary for two immersive days of masterclasses and roundtables, followed by the ScaleUP Awards Gala celebrating Western Canada’s top scaling companies.

This year’s theme, Future Proofing for Scale, challenges business owners to look forward, build resilience, and act with purpose. It’s not about predicting what comes next — it’s about being ready for it.
