It’s that time of year again. The Annual Forum is back.
The 5th edition of the EMH Annual Forum takes place December 16-17, 2026, at Richcraft Hall, Carleton University, in Ottawa.
This milestone edition comes at a critical moment, as Canada faces energy and infrastructure decisions of unprecedented scale. This year’s theme, “Where Models Meet Reality,” captures a core tension: models can tell us what’s optimal, but that can look very different from what gets built. Interties have looked cost-effective for years without breaking ground. Electrification pathways that work on paper run into financing, labour, and supply chain limits on the ground.
The Forum is built around that tension and brings modellers and researchers together with the policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders who live with these challenges day to day, checking the analysis against what’s actually deliverable so everyone leaves with grounded insights for the decisions ahead.
Registration is now open. The Forum microsite is where everything lives: the two-day program, registration, venue and hotel details, sponsorship options, and the calls for participation. Early bird rates apply until October 15.
