Why NEXT
The Expo Western Canada's Been Waiting For.
NEXT is the first trade event of its kind in years -- and it's built by people who get hospitality. Why we're different:
- Curated for restaurants, not convention centres
- Created by industry pros, not just event planners
- Built for connection, conversation, and discovery
- Hosted in Calgary, but drawing from across Canada
"Next feels like what the industry has been missing." -Confirmed Exhibitor, 2025
