Be among the first to register for  Building Lasting Change™ (BLC) 2026, happening  June 17–19  at the Centre Sheraton Montréal. Don’t miss this chance to lock in early bird pricing and secure your place before registration opens to the broader community. 

Canada’s building sector is evolving quickly: development margins are tightening, housing pressures persist, and capital markets are raising expectations. That’s why BLC 2026 is focused on delivering measurable value and resilient performance across the building lifecycle—bringing together investors, architects, engineers, developers, policymakers, and innovators to explore the business strategies and technical solutions reshaping the sector, backed by CAGBC’s national leadership and market insight. 

“Green building is increasingly a business requirement—not just a sustainability goal,” said Thomas Mueller, CAGBC President and CEO. “BLC 2026 brings together the full building sector—architects, engineers, builders, owners, and investors. Project teams will leave with a competitive edge and stronger marketability, while real estate and finance leaders will gain the market insight and evidence they need to manage risk, strengthen performance, and protect asset value.” 

Secure your spot early—and stay ahead—by accessing the perspectives, tools, and connections you can take back to your projects, your team, and your boardroom.  

There’s something for everyone:

  • The Business Stream offers insights for executives, owners, and investors on how evolving requirements are influencing asset valuation, investor confidence, and access to capital.  
  • The Technical Stream showcases strategies from project teams delivering high-performing new construction and retrofits right now.  

Beyond the sessions, a series of dynamic forums will explore the financial performance of green buildings, lessons from Canada’s retrofit accelerators, the implications of Quebec’s new reporting requirements, early insights from LEED v5 adopters, and how the reimagined ZCB-Performance helps manage transition risk.  Whether  you’re driving top-line strategy or executing at the project level, BLC will connect you to the ideas, evidence, and people moving Canada’s building sector forward.
