Battery Value Chain Xchange Canada 2027 has opened its Call for Speakers, inviting senior executives, technical experts, project leaders, and industry stakeholders to contribute to a focused program addressing the commercial and execution priorities shaping Canada’s battery value chain.
Taking place on April 13, 2027 in Toronto, Ontario, the conference will bring together critical mineral producers, battery materials companies, manufacturers, OEMs, recyclers, investors, policymakers, infrastructure partners, and technology providers working to turn Canada’s mines-to-mobility opportunity into a bankable, resilient, and commercially scalable battery ecosystem.
As Canada moves beyond resource potential and major project announcements, attention is increasingly shifting toward execution. Project finance, permitting, material qualification, manufacturing readiness, supply chain integration, circular recovery, responsible production, and access to North American markets will determine which projects successfully move toward commercial operation.
Five Strategic Pillars Shaping the Program
Battery Value Chain Xchange Canada 2027 is structured around five interconnected agenda pillars addressing the technical, commercial, operational, policy, and investment priorities facing the industry:
Building Canada’s Critical Minerals-to-Mobility Battery Economy
Exploring how critical minerals, refining, battery-grade materials, manufacturing, infrastructure, partnerships, and end-market demand can be connected into a competitive Canadian battery value chain.
Scaling Battery Materials & Cell Manufacturing
Examining production ramp-up, automation, quality control, workforce readiness, cost competitiveness, and the execution requirements for scaling battery materials, cells, modules, and advanced manufacturing.
Securing North American Battery Supply Chains
Assessing material qualification, offtake agreements, cross-border partnerships, logistics, trade alignment, sourcing transparency, and resilient supply chain strategies.
Battery Recycling, Black Mass & Circular Materials
Addressing battery recycling, production scrap, black mass processing, recovered critical materials, second-life pathways, and the partnerships required to establish effective closed-loop supply chains.
Clean, Responsible & Bankable Battery Production
Exploring clean power, lifecycle emissions, traceability, permitting, Indigenous and community engagement, ESG expectations, and capital alignment required to develop investment-ready projects.
Industry Leaders Invited to Join the Speaker Lineup
The conference committee is currently building the 2027 speaker lineup and is seeking contributors who can bring practical operating experience, technical expertise, commercial perspective, and strategic foresight to the program.
Priority will be given to speakers able to share real-world project experience, operating data, implementation lessons, commercial case studies, and actionable insights rather than broad corporate or promotional presentations.
Relevant areas of expertise include critical minerals, battery materials and chemical processing, cell and module manufacturing, manufacturing scale-up, battery supply security, recycling and black mass, circular materials, clean production, project finance, battery innovation, infrastructure, and cross-border market development.
The conference particularly welcomes perspectives from critical mineral producers and project developers, battery materials companies, cell manufacturers, automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, energy storage buyers, battery recyclers, investors, public financing organizations, policymakers, engineering partners, and other stakeholders directly involved in advancing commercial battery projects.
Connecting Canada’s Battery Value Chain
Battery Value Chain Xchange Canada 2027 is designed as a focused executive forum rather than a large-scale exhibition. With 100+ delegates, 15+ expert speakers, five strategic agenda pillars, and one concentrated day of presentations, discussions, and networking, the conference aims to create meaningful interaction between the organizations responsible for developing Canada’s battery economy.
For speakers, the format provides an opportunity to position their expertise within a senior industry audience, contribute practical lessons to the Canadian battery conversation, and build relationships across upstream resources, midstreambprocessing, manufacturing, automotive, recycling, investment, technology, and policy.
Submit a Speaking Proposal
Organizations and individuals interested in contributing to the program are invited to submit a speaking proposal for consideration.
Proposals should include the speaker’s name, job title, organization, brief biography, and proposed presentation topic or area of expertise.
Priority will be given to presentations that directly support the conference’s deployment-driven agenda and provide attendees with practical intelligence that can inform project, investment, manufacturing, supply chain, or commercialization decisions.
