Advanced Design & Manufacturing Montreal 2026

Advanced Design & Manufacturing Montreal runs November 10–12, 2026 at Palais des congrès de Montréal, Montreal.

What it is

ADM Montréal is Informa Markets' industry-wide manufacturing event for Québec. The organizer sums it up as "1 Floor. 6 Shows.": six sector expos on one show floor, covering packaging, automation, plastics, processing, design and battery manufacturing.

The organizer says it showcases 250+ suppliers. On the floor you'll find:

• 3D printing and additive manufacturing
• robotics and automation
• injection molding
• machining
• CAD/CAM
• dust collection
• rapid prototyping
• contract manufacturing
• food and beverage packaging

Visitors include design, automation and plant engineers, production and maintenance staff, purchasing professionals, executives and R&D specialists.

Conference vs. expo

The dates cover two different things. The new ADM Strategic Innovation Conference runs all three days. The expo floor is open only on November 11–12.

• Conference hours: Tue Nov 10, 9 a.m.–5 p.m.; Wed Nov 11, 9 a.m.–5 p.m.; Thu Nov 12, 9 a.m.–4 p.m.
• Expo hours: Wed Nov 11, 10 a.m.–5 p.m.; Thu Nov 12, 10 a.m.–4 p.m.

The conference has three tracks: Industrial AI, Electrification & Battery, and National Defence. Separately, expert-led education on the show floor is open to everyone at no cost. That includes Centre Stage panels, exhibitor demos in the Tech Theatre, a Reuse Innovation showcase on reusable packaging, and a Battery Manufacturing and Materials Conference on the Thursday.

Good to know

No one under 18 may enter the expo halls or conference rooms unless event management approves it beforehand, and there is no onsite childcare.
