Forge & Form Gala
Wednesday, January 20, 2027
Rogers Place | Edmonton, Alberta
Innovation isn’t born—it’s forged.
It takes pressure. purpose. precision.
Forge & Form comes to the 2027 Showcase, bringing together Canada’s building supply industry to recognize excellence across retail, manufacturing, innovation and leadership. Sponsored by Saint Gobain.
Set against this year’s Showcase theme, RISE & GRIND, Forge & Form celebrates what comes from the work: the ideas that move businesses forward, the products that change how we build, the companies raising the standard and the people shaping what comes next.
For one night, the ice at Rogers Place becomes the stage for one of the industry’s biggest celebrations.
With more than 15 awards spanning retail, manufacturing, products, partnerships and leadership, Forge & Form will put the industry’s best in the spotlight through the stories of our finalists with every winner revealed live.
