Unplugged 2026: focused on sovereignty
Aerospace Unplugged is the Ontario Aerospace Council’s annual industry day, held alongside its Annual General Meeting. It brings together leading industry experts, OAC members and representatives from Ontario’s network of aerospace companies for a day of outlook, discussion and networking.
This year’s theme is sovereignty. From recent developments in commercial aerospace and orbital sovereignty to eVTOL and drones, the program looks at the pathways to securing Canada’s technological sovereignty in aerospace, space and defence, with forecasts covering the commercial aerospace, defence, MRO, business and regional aircraft markets. Tickets include lunch, the reception and parking, and space is limited.
Access experts. Anticipate change. Act with insight. One day with the people shaping Ontario’s aerospace year ahead.
