Calgary · Wed, Feb 10, 2027
One afternoon. Calgary general contractors and pre-qualified subcontractors from every trade, in one room. Every sub has to pre-qualify before they get a ticket: WCB coverage, at least $3M in liability and the manpower to take on the work. Come enjoy the food and drinks, on us.
The afternoon
Midweek, mid-afternoon: knock off site early, meet the people you want to work with, done by five. Builders get the room from noon to set up. No speeches: the whole afternoon is open floor, and the food and drinks are on us.
Builders and suppliers set up their table, banner and promo items. The room is ours from noon.
Subs scan in, grab a badge in their trade colour and go straight to the builder tables. Food and drinks are on us.
Home for dinner.
Who it's for
Subcontractors
Builders and GCs
Pre-qualified
Subs can't just show up. Every sub answers these questions before they can get a ticket:
Covered by WCB Alberta.
At least $3M in commercial general liability. $5M or more is ideal.
The manpower to take on a builder's jobs, counting their own subs.
Not required, but certified subs stand out. Builders see who's certified.
Have they worked for general contractors before, and which ones.
How long they've been running their company.
Subs answer these questions themselves. We don't vouch for workmanship; who you hire is always your call.
Register
Wednesday, February 10, 2027, 2:00 to 5:00 pm. Calgary Central, venue TBD.
Questions
Calgary-area general contractors and builders, and subcontractors from every trade who pre-qualify. Subs apply first; nobody gets a ticket without qualifying.
Builder tables are free and limited. Subs pay $25 to get in, charged only once they qualify. Builders who miss a table can come as guests at $25 a person.
SubTrade makes software for subcontractors, so the trades in the room are the people we want to meet. We'll have our own table where subs can see SubTrade. Builders get the room, we get to show the subs what we built.
They answer a few questions when they register. To get a ticket a sub needs WCB Alberta coverage, at least $3M in commercial general liability ($5M or more is ideal) and a crew of three or more, counting their own subs. We also ask about COR or SECOR, which general contractors they have worked for and how long they have been in business.
Request one with the form on this page or reply to Fabian's invite with the name and email of each person coming, so everyone gets the event details and reminders. Tables go first come, first served; confirm by Friday, December 4, 2026. Each builder gets a 6 ft table, 2 chairs and a white tablecloth, and brings their own banner and promo items. After the event each builder gets the attendee list, sorted by trade, for every sub who agreed to share their details.
