Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Esquimalt’s annual Ship to Shore Industrial Tradeshow returns on Tuesday, Oct 6, bringing more than 40 industry suppliers and partners to the Naden Athletic Centre to showcase new technologies, products, services, and opportunities to the local Defence community. 

Presented by the Lookout Newspaper and Creative Services, the event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and feature a variety of indoor and outdoor displays, demonstrations, and engagements for attendees and local industry professionals.  

New at this year’s tradeshow is the Industry Connect Hub, a dedicated space that will give Defence community members and industry professionals the ability to meet, exchange ideas, and discover new opportunities for professional growth. Alongside the event’s displays and demonstrations, attendees can also enjoy a complimentary gourmet burger lunch while connecting with the vendors, colleagues, and industry partners around them. 

The Ship to Shore Tradeshow is free to attend for all local Defence community members.
