WHAT OUR 2024 ATTENDEES SAID

It was clear from the opening address by Hon. Josie Osborne that this event was the building decarbonization heartbeat of the country. Impossible to leave without a sense of inspiration, momentum, and progress!

The breadth of scope Retrofit Canada 2024 connecting high-level policy and finance down to details of technology was wonderful. I got connected with many dedicated hard-working people and came away inspired to redouble my own efforts.

In four short years, this conference has converged a national community of leading building retrofit practitioners core to Canada's building decarbonization ecosystem. No other event in Canada compares when it comes to unlocking practical solutions for adapting buildings and making them more affordable to heat and cool while driving down emissions and energy demand.

Retrofit Canada 2024 was the best networking event of its kind in Canada!

Participating in Retrofit Canada 2024 was a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with old peers, meet new people, and learn about exciting projects happening across Canada. The event provided an excellent environment for initiating new collaborations!

As a young person in the industry, it was valuable to be in spaces with such a concentrated and yet good mix of representatives. I enjoyed meeting many people who were relevant to my work. It was also refreshing to hear people with different cultural backgrounds and age ranges.

Excellent chance to understand the latest trends in the industry and meet leaders from all parts of the retrofit sector.
