Harnessing A World Of Change

IPPSA is proud to announce its 32nd Annual Conference, "Harnessing a World of Change", taking place March 15 to 17, 2026, at The Fairmont Banff Springs in the beautiful Canadian Rockies. 

For more than three decades, this event has brought together leaders from across Canada and around the world to discuss the evolving landscape of electricity markets, policy, and innovation. Each year, we feature distinguished speakers who provide insight into the opportunities and challenges shaping our industry.

The 2026 program will continue this tradition, offering timely perspectives on market transformation, regulatory developments, and the future of energy in Alberta and beyond. Full program details and keynote announcements will follow shortly.

As Canada’s premier annual electricity conference, this event is expected to sell out quickly. Ticket sales will open exclusively to IPPSA member companies one month prior to public registration. Secure your place early and join us for an engaging and forward-looking discussion on harnessing change in our industry.

This conference sold out early in 2025 - please book now to secure your spot.
