We’re coming to you live from Calgary, Alberta at the Global Energy Show 2026, Canada’s national energy exhibition and one of the most important rooms in North American energy. With 30,000+ professionals from over 100 countries filling the BMO Centre, this year’s show signals something the industry has been waiting for: the Canadian energy sector is back, and the floor is packed to prove it.
Part 1 is about the people behind the industry. WSG Energy’s Heinz Inabnit steps in as guest host for the day, and the conversations that follow go straight to the human foundation of Canadian energy, the trades shortage, the standards that don’t yet exist, the communities that need to be brought along, and the business relationships that actually move deals forward. From specialty tool rental and commissioning certification to community engagement software, workforce development, and the fine art of a real sales conversation, these seven interviews make one thing clear: the energy transition runs on people first.
