Brampton, Ontario: July 2–4, 2026 — The Canada Global Exchange Forum & Convention (CAGLEF) 2026 will bring together policymakers, entrepreneurs, investors, and development leaders in Brampton for a three-day international forum focused on trade, investment, innovation, and cultural exchange.
Hosted at the Courtyard by Marriott Brampton, the forum is organized by Yes Youth and Women Can (YYWC), a Canada-based nonprofit advancing community empowerment and inclusive development.
The 2026 edition is designed to strengthen cross-sector collaboration between local and global stakeholders, with conversations spanning business growth, emerging technologies, tourism development, and governance.
CAGLEF 2026 is structured around three core pillars: Women & Youth Empowerment, Policy & Government Engagement, and Business, Trade & Technology Investment. Across the three days, the program will feature keynote addresses, panel discussions, exhibitions, and networking sessions aimed at encouraging practical partnerships and long-term collaboration.
The initiative has received institutional endorsements from Brampton Mayor Hon. Patrick Brown, Deputy Mayor Hon. Harkirat Singh, and MP Ruby Sahota (Brampton North), reflecting its alignment with broader civic and economic development priorities within the region.
Speaking on the vision behind the forum, Amb. Don Mathias Mumassabba described CAGLEF as a platform designed to connect people, ideas, and opportunity across borders.
“CAGLEF is a space where dialogue moves beyond conversation into meaningful collaboration. It is about building relationships that translate into real outcomes for communities and economies,” he said.
In alignment with its mission, all proceeds generated from CAGLEF 2026 will support YYWC’s community empowerment initiatives, with funding directed toward education, entrepreneurship development, and workforce readiness programs for women and youth.
The event is positioned ahead of Canada’s global visibility during the FIFA World Cup 2026 period, and expected to draw international delegates, diaspora stakeholders, investors, and tourism partners, reinforcing Brampton’s growing profile as a hub for global engagement.
Registration for CAGLEF 2026 is currently open to participants, partners, and stakeholders interested in attending or collaborating.
