Canadian Institute to Host 25th Annual Shutdowns Turnarounds Superconference

Celebrating 25 Years of STO Excellence

For a quarter century, the Shutdowns Turnarounds Superconference has connected the people responsible for Canada’s critical shutdowns, turnarounds, outages, and maintenance events. What began as an industry gathering has evolved into Canada’s largest STO-focused knowledge-sharing community and practical, peer-driven learning opportunity.

The Case for Attending #Shutdowns26 — Backed by 25 Years of Results:

• A trusted peer community built over 25 years fostering transparency and peer learning, where senior leaders and decision-makers candidly share what truly works in the field.
• 35+ sessions, case studies & interactive panels on planning, scheduling, execution, workforce coordination, contracting, risk mitigation, and digital enablement.
• 30+ expert speakers from turnaround directors to reliability leads to operations executives.
• 90+ leading vendors and specialized service providers whose knowledge and experience can help you take your next project to new heights of success.
• Cross-industry scope ensuring benchmarking and lessons learned are relevant to every sector — oil & gas, mining, petrochemical, power, pulp & paper and more.
• Canada’s longest-running STO event bringing together thousands of planners, schedulers, turnaround managers, maintenance leaders, contractors, and solution providers over the past 25 years.
• Specialized additional experiences — an executive summit, a safety lab, and two interactive workshops — delivering deeper discussion, practical problem-solving, and peer-to-peer learning beyond the main conference program.

The conference will feature perspectives from an esteemed speaker faculty, including co-chairs:
