The Modern Grid Innovation Exchange
Join us in Toronto on October 19th, 2026 for the Modern Grid Innovation Exchange!
On October 19, 2026, Join Canada's leading utilities and solution providers for a private, peer-led workshop on grid modernization — held in partnership with CanREA and RE+ Events, the day before CanREA's Electricity Transformation Canada (ETC) 2026 kicks off. Share what's working, troubleshoot common challenges, and connect with the partners driving the modern grid forward.
EIF is Canada’s leading utility-focused innovation forum - but it’s not only for utilities.
The event is uniquely designed to bring utilities and solution providers together for meaningful, small-scale engagement on grid modernization.
The morning gives utilities a trusted peer-to-peer environment, and the afternoon transitions into curated vendor showcases and strategic networking, creating a rare platform for solution providers to connect directly with decision-makers before the Electricity Transformation Canada (ETC) event begins.
