Edmonton To Host Canadian Hydrogen Convention 2024 With Global Dignitaries And Industry Leaders

The third annual Canadian Hydrogen Convention is set to take place in Edmonton, AB, Canada, from April 23-25, 2024, at the Edmonton Convention Centre. This premier event, presented by dmg events and co-hosted by Edmonton Global and Air Products, anticipates a record-breaking attendance with 8,000 registrations from over 60 countries. The convention is dedicated to "Accelerating Canada's Hydrogen Future," focusing on the development of large-scale hydrogen projects, the advancement of hydrogen technologies for decarbonization, and the creation of national and international export opportunities.

Nick Samain, Senior Vice President of dmg events, expressed enthusiasm about showcasing Canada's potential in building a hydrogen economy that promotes economic security, empowers communities, and reduces carbon emissions. The 2024 edition will feature three halls of sold-out exhibition space, a strategic business conference with 70 speakers, and a technical conference offering full CPD accreditation with 80 sessions. Additionally, the event will include a return of the popular awards gala with 25 finalists and site tours hosted by InnoTech and C-FER Technologies.

Rachel Smith, Vice President of Air Products Canada, highlighted the importance of the convention for those working towards a clean energy future in Canada and globally. The event promises insightful presentations, networking opportunities, and a vast exhibition space. This year's lineup of speakers includes notable figures such as Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Government of Canada; Andrzej Duda, President Republic of Poland; Danielle Smith, Premier, Government of Alberta; and many more distinguished guests.

Malcolm Bruce, CEO of Edmonton Global, emphasized the significance of the convention in demonstrating the Edmonton Metropolitan Region's leadership in the global hydrogen economy. With Alberta producing two-thirds of Canada’s hydrogen, primarily from the Edmonton region, the area plays a crucial role in Canada's journey towards net-zero emissions by 2050. The convention aims to explore innovations and solutions that will accelerate Canada's transition to a net-zero future.
