ADM Toronto 2025: Canada’s annual manufacturing showcase ushers in a new era of innovation, trade and talent

Taking place October 21–23 at the Toronto Congress Centre, ADM Toronto 2025 is more than a trade show – it’s a strategic response to the current challenges faced by industry. From deep-dive technical sessions to dynamic international networking opportunities, ADM Toronto has been designed to empower manufacturers with the tools, relationships and insights they need to diversify, stabilize and grow their businesses in today’s climate of disruption and uncertainty. One unified event serving multiple sectors of innovation Formerly a series of co-located events, ADM Toronto has evolved into a single, streamlined expo that represents the full manufacturing supply chain, from design software and product development to plastics, processing, automation, packaging, logistics and distribution. Operating today under a unified brand, ADM continues to champion each sector individually, with a particular emphasis on packaging – the show’s largest and most active sector. The new structure ensures attendees can easily explore comprehensive solutions across all manufacturing verticals within one seamless experience. What’s new in 2025: paid conferences and workforce programming ADM Toronto 2025 introduces a brand-new paid conference experience for attendees, featuring two focused tracks that have been designed to explore critical industry issues in-depth. Running Tuesday and Wednesday, these tracks are tailored to Canadian manufacturers looking to remain competitive in an increasingly global and technical landscape. Tuesday, October 21: International & Interprovincial Trade As Canadian companies reevaluate their reliance on U.S. supply chains – particularly in light of recent tariffs and trade volatility – this track addresses how businesses can diversify internationally and strengthen partnerships across provinces. Led by keynote speaker Dennis Darby, President and CEO at Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, these sessions promise to dive into market opportunities beyond North America and cross-provincial trade initiatives while revealing case studies showing how diversified sourcing can reduce risk and unlock growth. Wednesday, October 22: Battery Workshops & Seminars With clean tech and electrification currently going a long way toward reshaping global industry, ADM Toronto is responding by offering intensive battery-focused workshops. Attendees can expect technical content on battery safety standards, emerging materials and technological breakthroughs in battery production, with a particular focus on innovations coming out of China. These sessions are led by world-renowned experts including Shmuel De-Leon, Founder and CEO of Shmuel De-Leon Energy Ltd. and leading international expert in the business of energy storage, who will share insights into global battery trends and how Canadian firms can remain competitive.
