Deep Blue Forum 2026
Canada’s forum for the technologies, capabilities and partnerships shaping the future of the underwater domain.
Canada’s underwater domain is becoming more important, more complex, and more contested.
Canada is a maritime nation, bordered by three oceans, and the ability to operate, defend, and compete beneath the surface, including in the Arctic, is a vital strategic interest. Deep Blue Forum brings together government, military, and industry to explore emerging trends, discuss disruptive technologies, and build the relationships shaping Canada’s subsurface future.
One room. The right people.
Deep Blue brings together the people shaping Canada’s underwater enterprise: senior leadership from the Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian Armed Forces, procurement and policy officials from the Department of National Defence, and executives from the primes and suppliers building Canada’s subsurface capability, with past attendees travelling from across the globe.
The 2026 theme and program will be announced shortly.
Deep Blue Forum 2026 will focus on the operational, technological, and industrial questions shaping Canada’s subsurface capability.
Put your organization in the room.
Deep Blue gives organizations working across Canada’s maritime and underwater enterprise a focused way to connect with senior government, military and industry audiences.
