Start with a conversation about your cryptographic posture.

qConnect 2026, the industry focused quantum summit run by Quantum City at the University of Calgary, takes place October 21 to 22, 2026. Day one at Quantum City's qHub opens with an invite only venture forum pairing quantum startups with investors, followed by afternoon workshops on quantum technology for aerospace and defence, cybersecurity and energy, framed around practical steps to become quantum ready. Day two is a conference at Hudson in downtown Calgary.

The 2026 theme is dual-use quantum technologies for energy and defence, which fits the city's new role as home to Canada's first Quantum Defence Innovation Secure Hub. The 2025 edition drew more than 250 leaders from business, government, research, startups and investment.

Our take

Calgary is where Canada's energy operators, its quantum defence hub and a growing quantum industry sit in the same postal codes. The cybersecurity workshop is the place to ask hard questions about cryptographic inventory and migration for long lived operational networks. If you run pipelines, grids or field networks in Alberta and want to talk about a Discovery Program before the year ends, that week is a good time to book a briefing with us.
